Naan Bread

Ingredients
- 150ml Warm Milk.
- 2 Tsp Caster sugar.
- 2 Tsp Dried active yeast.
- 450g Plain flour.
- 0.5 Tsp Salt.
- 1 Tsp Baking powder.
- 2 Tblsp Vegetable oil.
- 150ml Natural Yogurt.
- 1 Large egg - lightly beaten.
Steps
- Add the milk, 1 Tsp sugar and yeast in a bowl, mixing thoroughly. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, until the mixture is frothy.
- Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl.
- Add the remaining 1 tsp sugar, the yeast mixture, 2 Tblsp vegetable oil, yogurt, and egg together
- Mix until a ball of dough forms.
- Empty the dough on to a clean surface and knead it for approximately ten minutes, until it is smooth and satiny, then form into a ball.
- Pour about 0.25 Tsp oil into a large bowl and roll the ball of dough in it. Cover the bowl with a piece of cling film and set aside in a warm, draught-free place for one hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Pre-heat the oven to the highest temperature and put the heaviest baking tray or skillet available, to heat in the oven.
- Punch down the dough and briefly knead it again. Divide into six equal balls and keep five of them covered while you work with the sixth.
- Roll the ball into a tear-shaped naan, about 10” in length and about 5” at its widest.
- Remove the baking tray from the oven and slap the naan on to it. Put it immediately into the oven for three minutes until it puffs up.
- Place the naan on a grill or under the broiler for about thirty seconds, or until the top of the naan browns slightly.
- Wrap the naan in a clean tea towel to retain softness and serve hot.
