Naan bread

Naan bread is the perfect accompaniment for Indian food, or just like that. Yumm!

Naan bread

1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar

3 tbs. milk
1 egg, beater
 2 tsp. garlic, minced

2 tsp. salt
3 1/2 cup flour

1/4 cup butter, melted

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and let it sit until it's frothy.
Mix the liquid ingredients ( milk, egg and garlic ) together and set aside.
Mix the flour and the salt together and also set aside.

When the yeast is foaming, combine all of the ingredients and knead, adding flour if necessary until the dough is not sticky anymore. Cover and let rest until double in size. ( 30-40 minutes.)
After the dough has risen, punch it down and knead some more. Pinch off about 8 balls and flatten then on a floured surface, with your hand. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes and fry them in a low to medium hot frying pan or on a grill, brushing the uncooked side with the melted butter ( about 3 -4 minutes on each side.)
Oh so good!
