Softest Naan bread :)

[valtoppen]

Naan

 Very soft,and easily created in a regular oven :)

 I made them little bit thin and I could not believe my eyes when they puffed up beautifully. Within minutes, we finished them all.

1/2 tea spn sugar

2 tbl spn water

1 tea spn active dry yeast
2 tbl spn yogurt
1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp sugar
3/4 tea spn salt
1/2 cup milk

Garlic-butter topping(Mix both):
1 tbl spn butter
1 tea spn garlic

Method:
Heat the water to Luke warm (it should be warm when you dip your finger in it. I normally microwave water for 10sec). Add yeast, sugar. Leave it for 10mins till the yeast forms a froth(gets activated).
Now add all remaining ingredients and make it into a dough. Knead for 3-4mins. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and leave it in a warm place for about 2-3hrs till the dough doubles in volume.
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Make balls from the dough and roll them. Do not make them too thick as they puff up when baked  Apply a little garlic butter on top. Line them on a lightly Pam sprayed  cookie sheet.
Bake in the oven at 425F  for about 7mins till they puff up.Or broil but watch carefully they get brown fast. Take out, apply the garlic-butter mixture on the top and keep it in the oven again. Bake for another 5mins till the top looks brownish.I actually brush the garlic butter spread before baking,quicker for me....

You can double this recipe as well,I use the double recipe.

Makes about 8 small naans

PS:
– I kept a pizza stone in the oven and then placed the cookie sheet with naans on top of it.
– You can reduce the amount of butter if you don’t like too much butter.
- Avoid the garlic for plain naan.
 I bake it with garlic butter brushed on both sides.
– If you do not have oven at home, roast the naans on a tava like normal chapathis.
