N is for Naan Bread

Lately I’ve really become a fan of Naan bread (pronounced Non) and buy it all the time at Costco.  It's very cheap (18 pieces for $4.99.)  These are like mini-pitas.  This bread's particularly good with Indian food, but goes with everything.  I found this recipe for it on Pinterest and want to try it when I have time.  It sounds easy.  And how can you go wrong when there’s only four ingredients?  That’s my kind of recipe.

Ingredients:

4 cups of flour

4 cups of plain yogurt

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1 teaspoon of salt

Directions:

Stir together dry ingredients.  Blend in the yogurt until the mixture forms a soft dough.  Add more flour if necessary.

Knead for five minutes

Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a towel.  Let rest an hour or longer (you can leave it overnight if you wish)

Take the dough out and cut into ten equal pieces.  Form into a ball and flatten into a disc.

Heat a griddle over medium heat and also heat your broiler to high.

One at a time, cook each disc for 4-5 minutes and browned on the bottom.  When it starts to puff up take a spatula and move the naan to the top rack of oven under the broiler.  Let cook 1-2 minutes, or until nicely browned and puffy.

If desired, you can brush top with butter.

This recipe makes 10 pieces of bread.  When cooled store in a Ziploc bag in the refrigerator.
