Garlic Naan

Garlic Naan

1 package active dry yeast

1 cup warm water + 1 tsp sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

3 Tbsp milk

1 egg, beaten

2 tsp salt

4 cups bread flour

2 tsp minced garlic

1/4 cup butter, melted

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until foamy.

In a large bowl combine: yeast mixture, sugar, milk, egg, salt and enough flour to make a soft dough (you may not need the entire 4 cups of flour, so add 1/2 cup at a time when you get above 3 cups).

Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth (6-7 minutes).

Place dough in a well oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until doubled (90 min).

Punch down dough. Pinch off golf-ball sized pieces and roll into balls and place on tray.

Cover again with damp towel and let rise until doubled in size (30-40 min).

Preheat and lightly oil grill.

Roll one ball of dough into a thin circle.

Place on grill and cook 2-3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned.

Brush uncooked side with garlic butter mixture and turn over. Butter cooked side and cook until brown (2-3 minutes).

Remove from grill and continue process until all dough has been cooked.

I used a large skillet that fit 4-5 at a time (about 275-290 degrees).

Makes 14. Of course, the garlic is optional. You could also use plain butter w/o the garlic.
