Here's some vid having fun with the stuff........
And here's the recipe......
Tandoori Naan - can be made with different flavors to enhance the bread, like onion or garlic.
Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp sugar
2 tsp dry yeast
1 tsp salt
2 Tblsp yoghurt
1/4 Tblsp Gee or butter
2 Tblsp olive oil
Approx. 1-1 1/2 cups warm water
Gee for brushing
Sift the flour very well. Mix the sugar and yeast with 1/2 cup water and proof.
Combine flour, salt, yoghurt, gee and yeast mixture. Add enough additional water
to make a soft dought. (slightly sticky) Knead well until it is nice and smooth and elastic.
At least a couple of minutes in the food processor or mixer.
Put the dough into a grased bowl under plastic for about 2 hours.
Knead again to degass.
Divide into 6 balls.
Roll each ball to roughly an 8" circle approx 1/4" thick on lightly floured surface.
Place the dough circle on a heated skillet or griddle. Cook for about a minute or two on
each side. (dough firms up, but won't really brown..may show slight bubbles)
Remove from the griddle and flip the naan on a hot burner over a wire rack.
They should puff up like a balloon. Let them get little brown spots on them.
Remove with tongs and brush with butter.
Wrap breads in foil or towel to keep warm.
Handy tips:
This bread can be cooked on a gas grill on medium heat, or in a 400 degree oven with
the rack in the broil position until it puffs. Careful not to let it burn.
