Naan Bread

This is extremely easy to make and you can make a batch of it and freeze it
You will need
  • 250g plain flour
  • 2 teaspoons of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 110ml of milk
  • 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon of melted butter for brushing
  • you can also use chopped garlic, poppy seeds, coriander for your naan bread
Sift together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
 Mix together the milk and the oil.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, and pour in the liquids.
Slowly mix together the dough by working outwards from the centre and incorporating the flour from the edges of the well to make a smooth, soft dough.
Knead well for 8-10 minutes, adding a little flour if the dough is too sticky.
Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp tea-towel and leave for at least 1 hour in a warm place to double in size. When risen, punch out and form into five balls.
Preheat the grill to its highest setting and put a heavy baking sheet on the upper shelf.
Meanwhile, start to roll out the dough into teardrop shapes, gently prick with a fork , this avoids it puffing up.
Sprinkle over topping of your choice and press into the dough, Place the naans on the hot baking sheet and grill for 1-2 minutes or until there are brown spots on the surface. Brush with the melted butter and serve hot.
