Ingredients:
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup [or 225 0.00] warm water
  • 1/4 cup [or 56.25 0.00] white sugar
  • 3 tbl [or 44.3604 0.00] milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tsp [or 9.85784 0.00] salt
  • 4 1/2 cup [or 1012.5 0.00] bread flour
  • 2 tsp [or 9.85784 0.00] minced garlic (optional)
  • 1 tsp [or 4.92892 0.00] garam masala (optional)
  • 1/4 cup [or 56.25 0.00] butter, melted
Directions:
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth.
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.
Punch down dough, and knead in garlic and garam masala. 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.
Preheat grill or skillet to high heat. (We just use a skillet)
At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes.
Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.
