Ingredients: 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup white sugar (1 tablespoon of it separate)

Directions: |
Directions:1) In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in remainder of the 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.
2) Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
3) preheat a pan on the stove and turn on low
4) roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle (i used a rolling pin for each one). Lightly butter pan. Place dough on pan, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared. |
