Naan Bread – Bread Machine Method

Things like bread once you made it at home, you will feel the store bought ones taste so lame. Naan bread tastes best when it’s fresh, soft and hot. You might have a bread machine at home that you bought a couple years ago, and now that poor thing is collecting dust in your garage. Now it’s time to get your machine out. It can do much more work than you think. Try to make this Naan with your bread machine and I am sure you will make it over and over again.

Naan Bread – Bread Machine Method

Ingredients:

For the dough:

1 2/3 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon instant yeast

110g milk

1 egg

Method:

1. Put the milk and egg in the bread machine.

2. Mix flour, sugar and salt together and then put them on top of the milk.

3. Add the yeast on top the flour.

4. Use the “dough” function of your bread machine to make the dough.

5. Turn out the dough on a lightly floured working surface and divide it into 5 equal portions. Form each one into balls.

6. Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot, and grease lightly.

7. Flatten the dough a little bit just so you can sprinkle some salt and mined garlic on it. Use a rolling pin to press the minced garlic into the surface of the dough and also to roll it out into a very thin teardrop shape.

8. When the pan starts smoking, put on the naan. Turn down the heat to medium. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute each side until it’s lightly browned. Continue with remaining dough.

9. Serve hot.
