If you like Indian food, than you know the delicious naan bread, which is often served as a side dish for main courses. It can be dipped in curry, eaten with soup or served with tasty dips. I served the naan bread with humus. In India naan is usually baked on the open fire, but that does not mean that you cannot bake the naan bread at home. Here is a recipe for the naan bread.
You need:
300
g wheat flour
1
½ tsp dry yeast
1
tsp sugar
½
tsp salt
½
tsp baking powder
1
tbsp oil
150
g yogurt
30--50
ml of warm water (if the dough is not soft)
This is how we proceed:
Mix dry yeast with the sugar and 1 tbsp warm water and set aside for 5 minutes.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add oil, yogurt and yeast and knead to smooth dough. If the dough is still sticky add a bit of flour. If the dough is too dry add some warm water.
Form dough into a ball, cover and let rise for at least 30 minutes in a warm place.
On a lightly floured surface Knead the dough briefly and divide into 6-8 portions and roll 5 mm thin.
Place the naan bread on a tin covered with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven at 220 degrees for 10 minutes. No longer, otherwise the naan will
You can serve the naan bread warm or cold.
