Naan Bread


This is my version of a recipe I gleaned from allrecipes.com.  Another family favorite that is easy to make and delicious.  Enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 1 ( .25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 1/2 cups bread flour



Directions (I use my stand mixer for this recipe)



  1. In  a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in the sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes .  Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
  2. Punch down dough. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  3. During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat. 
  4. Stretch out the balls of dough into  thin circles.  Place them on the grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned on both sides.
