Budget Naan Breads
Published in Breads
These are quite acceptable and very good with a curry, but for a real treat (unfortunately a fairly unhealthy one) try the Luxury Naan Breads.
Ingredients:
- 250 g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbl plain yoghurt
- bbout 115 ml lukewarm water
- melted butter for cooking
Preparation:
- Place dry ingredients in a bowl, stir together.
- Add the yoghurt, and slowly pour in the measured water, working it all together with your fingers to make a soft slightly sticky dough – add extra water, sparingly, if needed.
- Knead roughly for a couple of minutes, then leave, covered, in a warm spot for about one hour to allow the dough to ferment.
- Divide the dough into 8 portions. Form each into a ball, then roll out on an unfloured surface (if you absolutely have to use flour on your surface, make sure you dust it all off before cooking the naans) to an oval 20 – 23 cm long and slightly less than1 cm thick.
- Heat the grill to maximum. Cover the baking sheets with foil and spray.
- Place as many naans as will fit comfortably on the baking sheet, brush with melted butter and grill, at maximum heat for about 1½ – 2 minutes, or until the breads have puffed up and have browned.
- Turn them over and repeat the buttering and grilling, watching carefully as the breads burn quite easily, yet they must be cooked at a very high temperature.
Makes 8 naan breads.
