the world’s best naans
May 1st, 2009 by cook47

Lisa made these the other night, and they were sooo good.  We had them with a tikka masala dish, but they were so good that we even had a couple with strawberry jam on them for breakfast the next morning :)

Naan (Indian-style flatbread)

2.5 cups bread flour

1/4 c whole wheat flour

1 pkg (2.25 t) instant yeast

2 t sugar

1.5 t salt

1 c water (room temp)

1/4 c plain yogurt

4 T oil (or 1/2 stick butter if you insist)

Combine flours, yeast, sugar, salt in a mixer and blend briefly.  Add water, yogurt, oil and mix on low until a shaggy dog I mean dough forms (about 30 sec), and then keep kneading for 5-10 more minutes, adding 1 T of flour at a time as needed to clear the sides of the dough bowl.  Let double in size for about 45 minutes. Turn onto a clean (or dirty) work surface and divide into 8 smaller balls and let sit for 10 minutes. Roll out the dough balls into flat breads and cook on a large skillet over medium heat until done (i.e. small bubbles appear, golden brown, or whatever your standard is for cooked naans… or go to cafe rio and watch how they make their tortillas and it’s the same general concept).
