Nan (Pakistani Flat Bread)

Submitted by littleturtle

"Basic Pakistani wheat bread. Very similar to naan (basic Indian bread). Very easy and goes nicely with curry."

• 1 tablespoon dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 3⁄4 cups whole wheat flour (approx)

directions

1. Stir the butter into the warm water until it melts (this should take about 1 minute at the most).

9. Form into 12 balls.
10. Roll each ball out to 1/4-inch thick, and let rise for 15 minutes.

This was a snap to make and my family loved it. I used AP flour because it's all i had on hand and it turned out ok. going to have to try it with the right flour.

I do not know if mine look correct, but they sure did taste great! Just the right amount of salt, too. I ran out of whole wheat so used about 3/4 cup of all purpose white flour and seemed to be fine. This pulled together fast-timing is right on. Thanks littleturtle for sharing a wonderful bread. Made for All New Zaar Cookbook tag.
