HOW DO YOU MAKE NAAN RECIPES

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients into a stand mixer bowl. Using the dough hook knead on low speed for 30 seconds the scrape down the sides of the bowl, then knead for up to 5 minutes.
• Leave the dough in the bowl, scrape the sides clean and shape the dough into a ball, tightly cover the bowl with plastic food wrap and allow to double in size.
• Scrape the dough from the mixing bowl onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 even size balls. Use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into 18 cm (7 inch) rounds. To stop the dough from sticking to the bench and rolling pin,keep the dough dusted on the top and bottom with flour.Make sure that the dough is of an even thickness and not rolled out too thin. It needs to be about 3-5 mm (0.12 - 0.19 inch) thick,otherwise is won’t puff up properly. Roll out about 3- 4 flat breads then start cooking. While one flat bread is cooking, roll out another while keeping an eye on the one in the pan.
• Cooking Naan

Steps:

• Mix together flour, baking powder and salt.
• Stir in the yogurt till the dough is too stiff for a spoon, then knead it in the bowl till it holds together well, adding more flour if necessary.
• Turn it out on a floured surface and continue kneading for about 5 minutes till the dough feels smooth and elastic.
• Form the dough into a ball and put it in an oiled bowl, covered with a towel, to rest for an hour or longer.
• Take the dough out and cut it into 10 equal pieces. Form each into a ball and press the balls flat into round discs.
• Heat a large frying pan or griddle, either seasoned cast iron or a good non-stick finish.
• Heat your oven to about 500 and have the broiler on (this is how the original recipe states it - I know with my oven it's either 500 degree oven OR the broiler, but you get the idea.
• Take 1 piece of dough at a time and roll it out on a floured surface till it is about 8-10 inches across and less than 1/4 inch thick.
• Lay it on the hot griddle and cook it over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes (I don't think mine took that long).
• It will puff up in places or all over, and there will be some blackish-brown spots on the bottom.
• Slide a spatula under the naan and transfer it to the oven, directly onto the rack, for a minute or two, just till it finishes puffing up into a balloon and begins to color lightly on top.
• Remove naan from the oven and brush it lightly with melted butter if you like.
• Continue this way with all the dough, stacking the breads into a napkin-lined basket.
• Serve the breads hot, fresh from the oven, or let them cool and wrap them up.
• To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil, in packets of 4 or 5 breads and put them in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
