NAAN
This recipe makes the best naan I have tasted outside of an Indian restaurant. I can't make enough of it for my family. I serve it with shish kabobs, but I think they would eat it plain.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
- 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.
- During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.
- At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

Steps:
- Mixing and Storing the Dough:.
- Note: If measuring flour rather than weighing, don't press down into the flour as you scoop it in with dry-ingredient measuring cups, By gently scooping up flour, then sweeping the top level with a knife or spatula.you willl get a more accurate measurement.
- In large plastic storage container (with lid) mix together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
- Add all the water and olive oil at once and mix with a wooden spoon.
- If mixing becomes too difficult to incorporate all the flour with the spoon, reach into the mixing bowl with very wet hands and press the mixture together. Note: kneading isn't necessary.
- When everything is uniformly moist without dry patches your mixing is complete. This should take only a few minutes.
- The dough will be wet and loose enough to conform to the shape of its container.
- Cover with a lid (not airtight) that fits well on the container. Allow the mixture to rise at room temperature until it begins to collapse, or at least flattens on the top, about 2 hours, depending on the room's temperature and the initial water temperature. Longer rising times, up to about 5 hours, will not harm the result.
- You can use a portion of the dough anytime after this period. Fully refrigerated wet dough is less sticky and easier to work with than dough at room temperature. So the first time you try this method, it's best to refrigerate the dough overnight, or at least 3 hours, before shaping a loaf.
- The breads flavor improves with the retardation, so suggest you wait at least 24 hours before baking the first loaf! Dough may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 12 days.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality flour, yeast, and yogurt.
- Make sure your yeast is active: If your yeast is old or inactive, your naan will not rise properly. To test your yeast, mix it with a little warm water and sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If it starts to foam, it is active and ready to use.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is an important step in the process. It helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which gives the naan its chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs time to rise in order to develop its flavor and texture. Place the dough in a warm place, such as a sunny windowsill or near a warm oven, and let it rise for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Cook the naan in a hot skillet: A hot skillet is essential for getting the perfect char on your naan. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat before adding the naan.
- Brush the naan with butter or ghee: Brushing the naan with butter or ghee will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Do this immediately after cooking the naan.
