Homemade Naan bread

I rarely go out to eat because eating out in Oslo, is very expensive. I haven't had Indian food for a while and I love Indian food. I have all the ingredients at home for making homemade bread, why not make it myself. Yesterday for dinner I made my own spicy tikka masala and naan bread. This was my first time making naan bread. I love the texture and the taste of it and it went well with my tikka masala.


Ingredients

1 package dry yeast
2 teaspoons sugar, divided
1/4 cup warm water (100 degrees F)
3 1/2 cups bread flour, plus more for rolling
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoon plain yogurt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup milk

butter
fresh cilantro for topping


Making the naans

In a bowl dissolve yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar and water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until the mixture begins to froth.

In a large bowl, sift the flour, salt, remaining sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

Add warm milk, yogurt, and butter to the yeast. Stir to combine.

Pour the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix the ingredients together with a fork. When dough is about to come together, use your hand to mix until the dough becomes soft and slightly sticky. Cover dough with plastic wrap and let it sit for 2 hours.

Separate dough into 8 pieces. Using a rolling pin, roll each dough into an oval shape. 8 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Warm about 1 tablespoon of butter in a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Brush both side of the naan with butter and sprinkle garlic powder or any spices you like. Place the naan in the skillet and cook for 1 minute. After a min. flip the naan. Cover the skillet with the lid and cook for another minute, brush with a little more butter if desired, sprinkle with a little salt. Remove the naan from the skillet. Place the naan in tea towel lined dish. Repeat cooking the rest of the naans and serve. Sprinkle with fresh herb.
