Naan Bread

Yummy Naan bread to go with your curry!

Ingredients

Yeast - 15g fresh or 7g dried
300-350ml warm water
500g plain white flour
15g salt
one nice big tablespoon of yoghurt
2 tsp vegetable oil


In a little bowl put the yeast into 100ml of the warm water.
Stir until dissolved and leave for 10-15 minutes until it's foamy.

In a large bowl put in flour and stir in the salt.
Make a well in the centre, then pour in the the yeast liquid, oil and yoghurt and another 200ml of the water.
Mix until it forms a dough (add little water in necessary).
The texture of the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Sprinkle some flour onto a surface and knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until smooth.
Then put it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and leave for 1 hour until it has doubled in size.

Put the dough back onto the surface and give it another quick kneading to let out the rest of the gas.
Then cut the dough into 4 equal size pieces and roll each one out, so that it is about 5mm thick.
Leave them to rest for 5 minutes.
Whilst they are resting put a pan over medium-high heat.
Put the dough into the hot pan and cook for 5 minutes until the bottom is slightly crusty and is golden with brown patches.
repeat this to the otherside.

The next step was not originally in the recipe, but i made a little mixture of olive oil with garlic salt and drizzled this over the naan. And then sprinkled a few sesame seeds. (If you have fresh coriander add that too).
Just for a little extra flavour.

Serve whilst warm :)
