Naan

Makes 4-6 naan

Adapted from Food Wishes

Ingredients

• 1/2 c water
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• About 1 tbsp oil (butter is ok too if melted, softened, or grated)
• Half a plain yogurt (About 3 oz or 85g)
• About 2 c flour

Steps

Dough

• Bloom the yeast with water and sugar (mix and wait 5 min)
• Add the rest of the stuff, mixing well, then kneading
• Divide into 4 balls and let them rise

Cooking

• Flatten each with a rolling pin until pretty thin
• Cook on a hot cast iron - for me, setting 7 on the medium sized burner works. It helps to cover it while cooking. It only takes a minute or so per side.

Adjustments

• Yogurt: If plain isn’t available, lemon or lime works well
