How to make Naan Bread



Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Make a little well in the centre of the dry mixture and add the oil and yogurt - do not mix yet.

Take the milk and very carefully pour in tiny drops of hot water until the milk is tepid (warm not hot).

Add the milk little by little into the flour mixture until you get a dough - knead very well.

Cover the bowl with a clean damp tea towel or plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until it doubles in size - usually 30 minutes.

Knead slightly and cut the naan bread dough into pieces and roll each piece of dough into an oval shape.

The thinner you roll out the bread dough the quicker it will cook.

Place naan breads onto a greased and floured baking tray and place into a hot oven at 230C or Gas mark 9 for 5-10 minutes until cooked.

Remove from the tray straight away and serve warm.

Try wrapping the naan breads in a clean tea towel or tin foil to keep warm for your meal.

You can serve plain or with a knob of butter/margarine.
