Naan

Recipe from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone
Naan or Yogurt Flatbread

This was much harder than it seemed. Everything went according to plan except the final product was much more bread-like than naan flatbread like. It still tasted excellent in channa masala with some Indian-style salad. It was a visual treat to make.


Below: After the yeast has been proofed it is mixed in with yogurt, ghee and salt.

Below: Mixing in with flour. Trying to get it smooth, yet slightly tacky.

Below: pre-knead

Below: kneaded and ready for the rise.
Below: dough is patted out and slighly rolled out in a large circle. I attempted to make five or more short knife cuts resembling a sand dollar. I don't think I did very well.



Below: on a baking stone, and rising A LOT.

Below: Brushed with some butter and salt below.
