Naan

The picture makes this look like it makes a big flat naan, but it's better when you make pieces the size of an English muffin. It makes a mean breakfast sandwich.

Ingredients

* 1 package yeast
* 1 cup warm water
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1 egg, beaten
* 3 tablespoons whole milk
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
* 1/4 cup butter or ghee, melted
* optional: minced garlic

Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let it stand for about 10 minutes. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead it. Let it rise in an oiled bowl 1 hour or until the dough has doubled.

2. 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.

** at this point you can freeze the dough until whenever you want. It freezes beautifully.

3. During the second rising, preheat grill or griddle to high heat. It works both ways. One of us prefers to fry everything in oil. The other one likes to grill her naan.

4. Roll the dough into a thin circle. Oil the pan or the griddle and cook the dough on each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned.
