Naan Indian Bread

Recipe from All Recipes.

Original recipe makes 14 servings

Ingredients

2 tsp yeast (1 package)
1 1/2 cup warm water
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten

4 1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional)

Preparation

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 if you are using it)

Divide the dough into eight pieces, roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

During the second rising, preheat heat oven to 500° F with a pizza stone in place.

Take each piece of dough, one at a time, and roll into 8-inch oval shape about 1/4″ thick. Dust lightly with dry flour to help with the rolling.

Before putting the Naan in oven, lightly wet your hands and take the rolled Naan, and flip them between your palms and place onto your baking/pizza stone into the oven.

You can place 2 to 3 Naan on the baking/pizza stone at a time. The Naan will take about 3 minutes to cook, depending upon your oven. After the Naan is baked, it should be golden brown color on top.

Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.
