Naan

Well, I got a wild hair today. From someone who doesn't really know baking, to jump into something that seemed so different from anything I ever saw my parents make was a bit off the normal road. However, they turned out WONDERFULLY!

Risk = reward

Naan

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup butter, melted

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 (I didn't). 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. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a baseball. 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 grill/oven to high heat.

Spread out dough as thin as possible. Lay on non stick cookie sheet and add to grill or oven in the hottest part, until puffy and lightly browned (recipes call for 2-3 min but it took me 7ish). You may need to flip naan and cook other side - I didn't. When complete, brush with melted butter and nom!
