Naan-Indian Flatbread

Naan

1 pkg dry active yeast

1 cup warm water

1/4 cup sugar

3 TBS milk

1 egg, beaten

2 tsp salt

4 1/2 cups bread flour (approximately)

2 tsp minced garlic (optional)

1/4 cup butter, melted

Mix yeast and water together with about a tablespoon of the sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in rest of sugar, milk, egg, salt and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead 6-8 minutes and place in a greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise for about 1 hour until double in bulk. Punch down and pinch off a golf ball size dough and make into balls. Place on a cookie sheet and cover. Let rise for 30 minutes. Meanwhile melt butter and add garlic to butter. Preheat grill or grill pan (I made mine on a George Forman grill) to medium heat. Roll out one ball into a thin circle. Oil grill. Cook 2-3 minutes until puffy. Brush uncooked side with butter mixture and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter and cook another 2-4 minutes. Continue with each ball until all are cooked.

** You could cook these on the stove with a sautee pan***
