¼ C White Sugar

Directions:
Directions:
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.

Pour dough out on clean surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll into balls, and place on oiled tray. Cover with cooking spray sprayed plastic wrap, then cover with a towel and allow them to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

During the second rising, preheat a cast iron pan or heavy flat grill to high heat.

At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned.


You can brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over, then brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

Personal Notes:
This is not only easy, but it really is the best flat bread. This does not store well in the refrigerator, so when you made it you need to cook them all.

You can also knead some minced garlic to the dough after the first rising and before you divide the dough into the 8 pieces.
