Quick Naan (Bread Machine)

najwa's Note:

This naan is ready in 40 minutes! I like this recipe better than Easy Naan (Bread Machine). For best results, follow directions carefully. They seem long but aren't, I am just describing what I saw on TV exactly. UPDATE: Made this with sour cream instead of yogurt. Much, much better!!

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
• 2 1/2 tablespoons oil
• 1/3 cup yogurt
• 4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Directions:

1. If the yogurt is cold, heat it for 15 seconds in the microwave.
2. Add ingredients to your bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
3. After 5 minutes, check your dough (see NOTE).
4. After another 5 minutes (10 minutes total in the machine) take the dough out and divide into 8 pieces. Turn each piece in flour, cover, and allow to rest on a tray for 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, heat your oven to 500°F.
6. If you have a pizza stone, allow it to heat in the oven, otherwise, put heat-resistent metal cooling racks in the oven. Baking sheets do not work very well.
7. With your fingers, flatten each piece of dough into a tear-drop shape, 1/2 inch thick.
8. Moisten hands, then turn naan briefly in your hands to moisten it, and place it on the stone/rack; bake for about 4 minutes.
9. Brown tops using the broiler.
10. Wrap naan in a towel while you make the rest.
11. NOTE: Dough should be somewhat sticky, and you might get a small amount stuck to your finger. It shouldn't stick to the pan at all. If it isn't sticky enough, add 1 T water. If it sticks to the pan, add 1 T flour, till you reach the correct consistency.

Nice recipe for naan bread. I made it half whole wheat and half all purpose, used the full dough cycle on my bread machine as I needed the time to work on other dishes for dinner. I used milk instead of water, omitted the honey and added 1/2 tsp of garlic powder as that's my favourite naan flavour. I used a baking sheet and it worked great, the naan rose a bit much so I had to squish it back down lol and because of time I browned the tops on a dry griddle on the stove but it still turned out quite lovely and my boys took it with cheese in between for sandwiches today :-). Thanks for the recipe :-) (ps. I used my homemade yoghurt which is almost a cross between yoghurt and sour cream and it was awesome)
