Garlic And Coriander Butter Bread Food

GARLIC AND CORIANDER BUTTER BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the yeast and flour. Make a well in the centre and pour in the water and olive oil.Stir well to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl and cover with clingfilm. Leave to stand in a warm place for 45 - 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. Cut into 8 equal pieces and roll into 10cm/4inch circles. Put on 20 baking sheets. Cover and leave for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 220C/425F/Gas7.
• Melt butter in a pan with coriander and garlic. Spoon three quarters over breads. Season with salt. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until golden. Brush with remaining herb butter. Serve.
• You could add cumin seeds to the dough which will give a spicy sweet flavour which goes well with curries.

NAAN BREAD WITH GARLIC AND CORIANDER/CILANTRO

Steps:

• Make sure your breadmaker is clean and add the ingredients in the order the manufacturer suggests.
• Mix on the dough setting.
• When ready to cook the naan (just before serving), knead for another 50 strokes and then divide into naans (make them as big or as small as you like).
• Form balls of dough and then flatten into thin ovals (to make this easier, you can wet your hands and use your fingertips to spread the dough across the base of a frying pan).
• Use oil spray to stop them from sticking.
• Preheat a grill/broiler.
• Now put the frying pan on medium heat, letting the naan cook until the bottoms are golden-brown (they will move easily when you shake the pan gently).
• Stick the frying pan under the grill (don't let the plastic handle go under too far!), and let the naans cook until puffed up and golden.
• Serve immediately with hommous, beans, curry or just eat them by themselves.
• Alternatively, you can let them cool and then freeze them.
