QUICK NAAN (BREAD MACHINE)
This naan is ready in 40 minutes! I like this recipe better than Recipe #41503. 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!!

Steps:
- If the yogurt is cold, heat it for 15 seconds in the microwave.
- Add ingredients to your bread machine according to the manufacturer's directions.
- After 5 minutes, check your dough (see NOTE).
- 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.
- Meanwhile, heat your oven to 500°F.
- 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.
- With your fingers, flatten each piece of dough into a tear-drop shape, 1/2 inch thick.
- Moisten hands, then turn naan briefly in your hands to moisten it, and place it on the stone/rack; bake for about 4 minutes.
- Brown tops using the broiler.
- Wrap naan in a towel while you make the rest.
- 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.

Steps:
- Unplug your bread machine and remove the bread pan.
- Add the water, yogurt, butter and then the rest of the ingredients into the bread pan. You can make a little indent on top of the flour in order to avoid the yeast falling into the water (until the machine starts). Do not combine the salt with the yeast (as the salt can kill the yeast). Place the yeast & salt in separate parts of the bread pan.
- Place the bread pan (with ingredients) into the bread machine and then plug in the machine.
- Put your machine on the Dough setting and press the start button. In our Sunbeam bread machine, the kneading & rising on the dough setting takes about approximately 1:30 hours.
- When your bread machine has finished, unplug the machine & pour the naan dough onto a cutting board. Wear oven mitts (as the bread pan/bread machine may be hot).
- Sprinkle some flour on the cutting board (before you pour out the naan dough) in order to avoid the naan dough sticking to the cutting board.
- Divide & shape the naan dough into fist-sized balls. You should be able to make roughly 8-10 balls of dough.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the balls to prevent sticking.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough balls flat. Try to create flat circles or ovals from the dough that are roughly 1/4 inch high. However, irregular naan shapes are okay too!!
- I like to roll out one dough ball at time and then fry each one separately (versus rolling all 8-10 balls at once and then frying later).
- Heat a frying pan with low/medium heat and melt a thin tab of butter on the frying pan.
- Place the flattened naan dough on top of the melted butter in the frying pan.
- Flip the naan frequently with a metal spatula in order to brown the naan evenly (and avoid burning the naan). The frying should only take 1-3 minutes per naan (depending on the level of heat used).
- Add more butter to the frying pan when you fry each new naan.
- Place the naan on a wire cooling rack for a minute to cool down slightly.
- Serve while naan still warm.

Steps:
- Combine water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until bubbly and frothy, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Place dough into a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise until the dough has doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough and knead well. For garlic naan, knead in garlic at this point.
- Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of golf balls. Roll into balls, cover with a clean cloth, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Roll out 2 balls of dough into elongated ovals. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and cook under the broiler until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Brush butter on both sides and flip. Continue broiling until the second side is firm and golden, 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining dough.

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:
- Squeeze out roasted garlic and mash into paste.
- Add water, agave, oil, yogurt or sour "cream", garlic paste, flour, salt, and yeast to bread machine and set to dough setting. Do not allow to rise.
- NOTE: I am at high elevation in a very dry climate, and tend to need more water (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups for this recipe); you can check dough after 5-10 minutes to make sure it is smooth and slightly tacky. If it is crumbly, add a bit more water.
- After dough has been kneaded fully, remove from bread machine and cut into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Roll out each piece of dough with a rolling pin into an oval and coat both sides with oil. (You can stack the rolled out pieces on a plate once they have been oiled).
- Grill over medium fire for 2-3 minutes on the first side until bottom is browned and top begins to puff up, and 1-2 minutes on the second side until browned.

Steps:
- Put the flour in a large bowl, then add the sugar, baking powder and 1½ tsp salt. Add the seeds, if you like. Lightly whisk to disperse the ingredients evenly throughout the flour.
- Add 1 tbsp of the melted butter, followed by the natural yogurt. Mix together with your hands. Once the yogurt and butter have been absorbed, gradually add 180-200ml water, 50ml at a time. Mix between additions, until it begins to come together into a dough. The water amount will depend on the consistency of the yogurt and butter - stop adding when you have a ball of dough.
- Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead thoroughly for 5 mins until smooth and elastic. Put in an oiled mixing bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for at least 1 hr. The dough will not rise but it is important to let it rest as this helps to make the naans less chewy and more fluffy.
- If making the garlic butter, mix the garlic with the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter and the coriander. Set aside.
- Divide the dough into eight, 10 or 12 even-sized pieces, depending on how big you want the naans. Roll into round balls, then return to the bowl, covered with a tea towel.
- Roll one of the dough balls out on a lightly floured surface into a round, oval or teardrop shape - roll with a diagonal motion to get an oval. Flip the dough over and repeat on the other side.
- Heat a frying pan. Dry fry the dough over a medium high heat until it begins to puff up and the underside browns in places. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the cooked naan from the pan. Spoon a little of the garlic butter over the naan, if using. Sprinkle over some coriander, if you like. Cover with a tea towel while you repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough.

Tips:
- Use warm water (around 110°F) to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast; if it is too cold, the yeast will not activate properly.
- If you don't have wheat flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead. However, the naan bread may not be as soft and fluffy.
- If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the naan bread on a baking sheet. Just make sure to preheat the baking sheet before adding the naan bread.
- Serve the naan bread warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, garlic, cilantro, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Naan bread is a delicious and versatile flatbread that can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings. It is a popular side dish in many Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Naan bread is relatively easy to make at home, especially if you have a bread machine. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of hot, fresh naan bread in no time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give naan bread a try.
