BREAD MACHINE NAAN - EASY INDIAN BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Unplug your bread machine and remove the bread pan.
• Add the water, yogurt, butter and then the rest of the ingredients into the bread pan. You can make a little indent on top of the flour in order to avoid the yeast falling into the water (until the machine starts). Do not combine the salt with the yeast (as the salt can kill the yeast). Place the yeast & salt in separate parts of the bread pan.
• Place the bread pan (with ingredients) into the bread machine and then plug in the machine.
• Put your machine on the Dough setting and press the start button. In our Sunbeam bread machine, the kneading & rising on the dough setting takes about approximately 1:30 hours.
• When your bread machine has finished, unplug the machine & pour the naan dough onto a cutting board. Wear oven mitts (as the bread pan/bread machine may be hot).
• Sprinkle some flour on the cutting board (before you pour out the naan dough) in order to avoid the naan dough sticking to the cutting board.
• Divide & shape the naan dough into fist-sized balls. You should be able to make roughly 8-10 balls of dough.
• Sprinkle a little flour on the balls to prevent sticking.
• Use a rolling pin to roll the dough balls flat. Try to create flat circles or ovals from the dough that are roughly 1/4 inch high. However, irregular naan shapes are okay too!!
• I like to roll out one dough ball at time and then fry each one separately (versus rolling all 8-10 balls at once and then frying later).
• Heat a frying pan with low/medium heat and melt a thin tab of butter on the frying pan.
• Place the flattened naan dough on top of the melted butter in the frying pan.
• Flip the naan frequently with a metal spatula in order to brown the naan evenly (and avoid burning the naan). The frying should only take 1-3 minutes per naan (depending on the level of heat used).
• Add more butter to the frying pan when you fry each new naan.
• Place the naan on a wire cooling rack for a minute to cool down slightly.
• Serve while naan still warm.

BREAD MACHINE NAAN

Steps:

• In the mixing bowl of your bread machine, combine warm milk (about 80F) with yeast, butter and half of the sugar- set aside for 5 minutes.
• On a piece of waxed paper sift together flour, salt and baking powder.
• Add to bread machine bowl.
• Add olive oil, second half of sugar, yogurt and egg.
• Set the bread machine to the dough setting and let it run through the cycle.
• When the bread machine has almost finished the dough cycle, pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees F.
• If you have a baking stone, place it in the top rack of the oven to preheat as well.
• Take dough out and separate it into six equal sections.
• Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten dough out to ovals about 1/3 inch thick.
• When oven has pre-heated, place rounds on pre-heated stone or heavy baking sheet.
• Bake on top shelf of the oven for 90 seconds; the naan should start to puff.
• Switch the oven from bake to broil for an additional minute or until the top starts to brown.
• When brown on top, remove from oven and cover with a towel while you finish baking the remaining loaves.
• You can brush the naan with butter before serving if desired.

SOFT BREAD MACHINE NAAN

Steps:

• Add all ingredients except the butter and black sesame seeds in the order recommended for your bread machine. Process using the dough cycle.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. When the dough cycle ends, remove the dough from the machine and divide into 8 pieces. On a floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll each piece into an 8-by-4-inch oval. Cover and let rise 20 minutes, or until doubled.
• Melt the butter for the topping. Brush the top of each naan with butter and sprinkle witht sesame seeds. Bake 7 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Lightly brush the bottom of each naan with water, stack, and cover, or eat as soon as they are cool enough to handle.

EASY NAAN (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Add ingredients to the bread pan according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Set Cycle: dough; Loaf size: 2 lb.
• After about 5 minutes, check the dough; add a tablespoon of water at a time if too dry, or a tablespoon of flour at a time if too wet.
• Preheat oven to 450F, put 2 baking sheets in to heat for 10 minutes (this will help the naan to puff up and brown).
• When dough cycle is done, turn dough onto a floured surface and punch down; Divide into 8 pieces.
• Working one at a time, with the other pieces covered, roll dough out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
• Bake for about 4 minutes, until puffed up.
• Brown tops under the broiler, then wrap in a towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining naan.
• These freeze very well.

EASY NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Put the flour in a large bowl, then add the sugar, baking powder and 1½ tsp salt. Add the seeds, if you like. Lightly whisk to disperse the ingredients evenly throughout the flour.
• Add 1 tbsp of the melted butter, followed by the natural yogurt. Mix together with your hands. Once the yogurt and butter have been absorbed, gradually add 180-200ml water, 50ml at a time. Mix between additions, until it begins to come together into a dough. The water amount will depend on the consistency of the yogurt and butter - stop adding when you have a ball of dough.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead thoroughly for 5 mins until smooth and elastic. Put in an oiled mixing bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for at least 1 hr. The dough will not rise but it is important to let it rest as this helps to make the naans less chewy and more fluffy.
• If making the garlic butter, mix the garlic with the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter and the coriander. Set aside.
• Divide the dough into eight, 10 or 12 even-sized pieces, depending on how big you want the naans. Roll into round balls, then return to the bowl, covered with a tea towel.
• Roll one of the dough balls out on a lightly floured surface into a round, oval or teardrop shape - roll with a diagonal motion to get an oval. Flip the dough over and repeat on the other side.
• Heat a frying pan. Dry fry the dough over a medium high heat until it begins to puff up and the underside browns in places. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the cooked naan from the pan. Spoon a little of the garlic butter over the naan, if using. Sprinkle over some coriander, if you like. Cover with a tea towel while you repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough.

• Add ingredients to your bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
• After 5 minutes, check your dough (see NOTE).
• After another 5 minutes (10 minutes total in the machine) take the dough out and divide into 8 pieces. Turn each piece in flour, cover, and allow to rest on a tray for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat your oven to 500°F.
• If you have a pizza stone, allow it to heat in the oven, otherwise, put heat-resistent metal cooling racks in the oven. Baking sheets do not work very well.
• With your fingers, flatten each piece of dough into a tear-drop shape, 1/2 inch thick.
• Moisten hands, then turn naan briefly in your hands to moisten it, and place it on the stone/rack; bake for about 4 minutes.
• Brown tops using the broiler.
• Wrap naan in a towel while you make the rest.
• NOTE: Dough should be somewhat sticky, and you might get a small amount stuck to your finger. It shouldn't stick to the pan at all. If it isn't sticky enough, add 1 T water. If it sticks to the pan, add 1 T flour, till you reach the correct consistency.

PESHAWARI NAAN BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Add all ingredients (except the sultanas) to your bread machine in the order your machine recommends. If your machine recommends pre-heated liquids, just heat the skimmed milk till it's lukewarm.

• 10-15 minutes before your machine stops mixing and starts proving, (some machines beep at this point) add the sultanas.
• Preheat your oven to 250C and have 3 shelves in it.
• Grease 3 flat oven trays.
• When the bread machine has finished, tip out the dough onto a floured board.
• Tear off a chunk of dough about 1 sixth of the total size and flatten out with the hands to a pear shape about half the size of your tray. Do not use a roller as the bread probably won't rise. Repeat till you have 6 naans on your trays.
• Bake in the oven for about 7 minutes, or until the bread just begins to colour.
• The bread can be frozen in bags for later use.
