AFGHAN NAAN BREAD RECIPE - NAAN-E-AFGHANI (VIDEO)

Steps:

• Mix 1 cup of warm water, yeast, and sugar and let it sit for 10 minutes or until it is foamy.
• Combine flour, salt, and oil in large a mixing bowl, and mix well.
• Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl and begin mixing using a wooden spatula.
• When the dough is about to come together, use your hands to knead well for 5 minutes.
• Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place 1-2 hours.
• NOTE: Watch the recipe video to learn how to perform these cooking steps.
• Preheat the oven at 200°c/400°F. Punch down the dough.
• Divide it into 2 equal parts.
• Combine 1 tablespoon flour + 5 tablespoons water and mix well to make a liquid lump-free mixture.
• Apply some flour mixture to your hands to flatten a ball into an oval.
• The oval should be about 10-12 inches long and about 1/4-inch thick.
• Draw tines with an opener or fork to make the desired pattern.
• Sprinkle nigella seeds, and bake Afghan naan for 8-10 minutes or until brown.
• At this stage naan is ready, but I like to broil it for 2 minutes. (I have made both broiled and non-broiled versions of this bread. And I love them both.)
• Apply butter and wrap them in a tea towel or cloth to keep them warm and soft.
• Enjoy with your favorite curry.

AFGHANI NAAN (FLATBREAD)

Steps:

• Sift the flour with the salt into a large bowl; stir in the yeast.
• Add the vegetable oil, if using, and rub it in wih your hands.
• Gradually add in the warm water and mix with your hands to form a smooth, round, soft dough.
• Knead for 7 to 10 minutes until dough is elastic and smooth.
• Roll dough into several round balls, cover with a damp cloth, and let rest in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degreesF; line a baking tray with aluminum foil and place in the oven to get hot.
• Once the dough has risen, divided into about 4 equal portions; on a lightly floured surface, shape or roll the dough out into an oval 1/2 inch thick.
• Wet your hands and use your fingertips to make deep grooves down the center of each oval; sprinkle with your chosen seeds, if desired.
• Remove the hot tray from the oven and place a prepared dough on it and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes (the bread should be fairly crisp on the outside) being careful not to over cook or burn it.
• Repeat with remaining dough.
• Wrap each bread with a clean tea towel or tin foil to prevent them from drying out.
