Frying Pan Naan Breads Food

EASY FRIED NAAN BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a cup or small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the 2 cups of flour, baking powder, remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar, and salt then add the yeast mixture to it, along with the yogurt and oil and use a fork to bring it all together. The dough will be very sticky.
• Use a bowl scraper to coax the dough out onto a well floured counter and knead it until soft and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the dough to the empty bowl, cover with a tea towel, and set aside at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours.
• Scrape the dough out onto a floured counter and divide into six pieces. Roll each piece of dough in flour, pat it down with your hand, then use a rolling pin to evenly roll each one out into about a 7"-8" circle or tear drop shape.
• Heat a heavy griddle or large frying pan on high until a few drops of water immediately sizzle and evaporate. Pick up one of the rolled-out naan, stretch it out a little if it has started to shrink, then lightly dampen one side of the dough by dipping your fingers in the bowl of water and spreading a little water on the dough. Using a sort of slapping motion, place that wet side of the dough down onto the hot pan and press it down with a spatula.
• Fry the dough about a minute, (it will start to bubble slightly), then flip it over and fry the other side until charred, about 30 to 45 seconds.
• Stack the naan on a plate as you take them from the frying pan, then brush one side of the finished breads with melted butter.
• Serve naan warm or at room temperature. Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerate for 1 or 2 days, or double wrap and freeze for longer storage. Reheat in a microwave, oven, or skillet.

• Cut into 4 pieces and roll out each one with a rolling pin, until about 1/2 cm thick, shaping into ovals
• Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and dry fry the naans in batches
• Cook for 1-2 mins on each side, turning when golden, until they are puffed up and cooked inside
• Serve brushed with the melted butter

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.

NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Put 125ml warm water into a bowl and sprinkle over the yeast and 1 tsp of the sugar. Leave for 10-15 mins or until frothy. In a larger bowl, put the flour, remaining sugar, ½ tsp salt and baking powder. Mix together then make a well in the centre in which to pour the melted butter, yogurt, nigella seeds and yeast mixture. Stir well, then start to bring the mixture together with your hands. If it's very wet add a spoonful of flour but if it's dry add a splash more warm water. It should be a very soft dough but not so wet that it won't come together into a ball.
• When you're happy with the consistency, start kneading, first in the bowl, then transfer the mixture onto a well-floured surface and continue to knead for 10 mins or until smooth and elastic but still soft. Butter a large bowl, then shape the dough into a ball and place in the prepared bowl. Cover and leave in a warm place for about 1 hr or until doubled in size.
• Divide the dough into six balls and put them on a baking tray dusted with flour, then cover the tray with a damp tea towel. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Take one of the balls of dough and roll it out to form a teardrop shape that's approximately 21cm long and around 13cm at the widest part. When the pan is very hot, carefully lay the naan bread into it. Let it dry fry and puff up for about 3 mins, then turn over and cook on the other side for another 3-4 mins or until cooked through and charred in patches.
• Heat the oven to its lowest setting and put the cooked naan bread on a baking sheet. Brush with a little melted butter and cover with foil. Keep warm in the oven and layer up the cooked naans one on top of each other as you make them, brushing each one with melted butter or ghee as you go. Serve warm with curry or dips.

NAAN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
• Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
• At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.
