Onion Naan Food

GARLIC & ONION NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Blend the first set of ingredients in a high-speed blender.
• Grind the second set of ingredients in a food processor until the cashews are ground to flour.
• With the food processor turned on, pour in the mixture from the blender slowly, so that the 2 combine thoroughly.
• Transfer to a bowl and leave to stand for a few minutes, so that it thickens up.
• You're now ready to spread into 3 to 4 individual naan breads on a nonstick dehydrator sheet, around 1cm (⅓") thick. I like to make the outside edge a little thicker than that.
• Dehydrate at 115 degrees F for around 3 to 4 hours, until you can turn them over, removing the nonstick sheet to complete dehydration for another 3 to 4 hours.
• There's a real sweet spot for dehydration here, where they're still slightly moist inside, making them more spongy. You can always make one really small piece when spreading them out, so you can use to test how dry they're getting.
• Optionally, you can bend the bread about an hour before it's finished, so that the cracks appear in it. I think this makes it much more visually appealing.

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.
