Naan Bread Recipe

By popular demand here is my naan bread recipe:

Ingredients:
  • 1 pk dry yeast
  • 4 tsp sugar (I use 1 or none)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
Make yeast dough with these ingredients. Let rise for 30min-1hour. Form naan patties, make them about 0.75cm thick. This recipe makes about 8-12 depending on size. Brush breads with melted butter (I use olive oil). Grill 2-3 min each side (20min at 200C or 400F in oven works fine, too).

The recipe I made up in a hurry today (very yummy) was very plain. I used about 400g flour, tsp salt, 1 tbsp dry yeast and warm water (@350ml) to make a workable dough. Made 8 paddies, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with minced garlic and dried herbs from my garden. Perfect fit for the wicked curry...

I have no idea where the original recipe came from. I hand wrote it in my recipe book.
