Naan

    This naan recipe is sure to delight everyone you make it for, and I guarantee they will keep asking for more! It pairs perfectly with the previous recipe, red lentil curry.

Ingredients:

• 1 (0.25oz) package active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tsp salt
• 4 1/2 cups flour
• 1/4 cup butter, room temperature

    In a large bowl, dissolve the package of yeast in warm water. Allow this to stand for about 10 minutes. Add in the milk, egg, salt, sugar, and flour. 

    Begin kneading and adding a little flour at a time in order to knead a soft dough. Once the dough has formed, coat the outside of it with a little olive oil. 

    Place a kitchen towel over the top, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size. 

    Next, pinch off golf ball-sized pieces and roll into balls. Set aside on a cooking tray, place a kitchen towel over them, and allow to rise once again for 30 minutes.

    Heat a cooking pan on medium heat. Take a dough ball and begin rolling it out on a floured surface. Take the room temperature butter and spread it on one side. Place the buttered side down into the pan, and cook for about 1 minute. Butter the other side and flip.

Enjoy!
