Easy Fried Naan Bread Food

FRYING PAN NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Heat the butter, milk, sugar and salad oil until the butter has melted and the milk is tepid.
• Put the other ingredients together in a bowl and make a soft dough, pouring in the milk mixture to keep the dough soft.
• Knead for 15- 20 minutes.
• Cover the bowl loosely with a cloth and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
• Split the dough into as many portions as you want and roll out into rounds and place on a floured tray near the cooker and keep covered.
• Heat a heavy-based frying pan over moderately high heat.
• Brush the pan with melted butter and toss the naan into the pan and let it fry for 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile brush the top with more melted butter.
• Turn the naan bread over and cook for a further 1 1/2 minutes.
• Brush the cooked side with more butter.
• When cooked place in tin foil to keep warm.
• Keep in tin foil if you wish to freeze them; place in a moderate oven to heat through.
• Cooking time of 4 minutes is for each naan bread, not total cooking time.

NAAN RECIPE - FLUFFY, BUBBLY, CHEWY!

Steps:

• Bloom yeast: Mix yeast with warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Cover with cling wrap, leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
• Egg and milk: Whisk milk and egg together.
• Flour: Sift flour and salt into a separate bowl.
• Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the flour, add yeast mixture, and butter and egg mixture. Mix together with a spatula. Once the flour is mostly incorporated, switch to your hands and bring it together into a ball. No kneading is required.
• Proof 1: Cover the bowl with cling-wrap, then leave in a warm place for 1 - 1.5 hrs until it doubles in size. (Note 7)
• Cut into 6 pieces: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 6 equal pieces, then shape into balls into spheres with a smooth surface by stretching the surface and tucking it under (see video).
• Proof 2: Place balls on a lightly-floured tray or plate. Sprinkle lightly with flour, cover loosely with a lightweight tea towel. Put in a warm place to rise for 15 minutes until it increases in size by about 50%.
• Roll out: Place a round on a lightly-floured work surface, flatten with your hand. Roll out into 3 - 4mm / 0.12 - 0.16" thick rounds (about 16cm / 6.5" wide).
• Heat skillet: Rub a cast iron skillet with a very light coat of oil using 1/2 tsp oil on a paper towl (unless already well seasoned). Set over high heat until you see wisps of smoke. (Note 8 for other pans)
• Cook naan: Place a naan dough in the skillet and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the underside is deep golden / slightly charred - the surface should get bubbly. Flip then cook the other side for 1 minute until the bubbles become deep golden brown.
• Cook remaining naan: Remove, set aside, and repeat with remaining naan, taking care to regulate the heat of the skillet so it doesn't get too hot.
• Finishing: Brush freshly cooked naan with melted butter or ghee (or garlic butter, Note 5). Sprinkle with nigella seeds and coriander. Serve hot!

SUPER EASY NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
• Add salt and flour. Mix thoroughly. Knead dough on a floured workspace about 20 times and form into a tight ball. Put dough in a well oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel.
• Put in a warm place to rise for 30-45 minutes. Dough won't rise much, but it doesn't need to.
• Turn dough out onto a floured workspace. Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll out with a rolling pin to about 1/8" thick.
• Grill naan pieces on a grill or electric griddle. In a pinch, a frying pan sprayed with some nonstick cooking spray will work. Grill for 1-2 minutes on each side.
• This recipe yields a very soft, chewey naan. Just the way I like it!
