Naan



I found these pictures at the nibble.com, the title will take you there. But the recipe is just a combination of several recipes I looked at. I had Naan for the first time while trying samples at Costco. I immediately bought their Naan and have been looking for a copycat recipe ever since. While there are MANY different recipes out there, I chose this one with basically the same ingredients as the one from Costco. These can go with many meals, used as bread for a sandwich(Naanwich), by itself, with Hummus, Ghee or many other ways. I will be making these again and again in our home.

Naan
Makes 6 Naan

3/4 cups warm buttermilk(take care not to overheat or it will sepparate)
1 teaspoon yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 Tablespoons Canola oil
pinch of baking soda
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon corn starch
flour for rolling

In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm buttermilk. Add sugar, salt, vinegar, oil, baking soda, and mix well. Mix flour and cornstarch together, then add to the yeast mixture. The dough will be wet and sticky. Sprinkle with some oil, cover and let rest for 3-4 hours.

Preheat your pizza stone to 500 degrees for about 30 minutes, or if you're using a cookie sheet, preheat the oven and when you're ready to bake then put it in the oven with the Naan.

Separate the dough into 6 different pieces, with oil on your hands, and roll each into a ball. With a rolling pin and flour, roll each ball to about 1/4-inch thickness(Not too thin, it will stretch when you move it). Place two at a time on preheated stone for 3 minutes, flip it and bake for 1 minute more. There will be air pockets in it.

Spread Ghee(clear butter), or whatever you want and enjoy.
