Homemade Naan Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 4.5 cups bread flour
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 0.25 cup butter, melted

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until frothy.
2. Coat a large bowl with oil.
3. Add sugar, milk, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture and stir. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes.
5. Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead in the garlic. Divide the dough into small, golf ball-sized pieces (about 14). Roll each piece into a ball and place it on a tray. Cover with a towel, and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled.
7. Preheat a large grill pan over high heat.
8. Roll each dough ball into a thin circle.
9. Brush melted butter on the preheated grill pan. Place a few pieces of dough in the pan (do not overcrowd) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until puffy and lightly browned. Brush butter on the uncooked sides, flip, and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes until browned. Remove from the grill and repeat with the remaining naan.
10. Serve and enjoy your fresh, homemade naan bread!
