Naan

4-5 naans

Dough:

2 cups wheat flour (medah)
1/2 cup chappati flour (arta)
3 Tb oil
1ts dry yeast (khamir)
3Tb plain yogurt (kefir)
a pinch ajwain seeds
a pinch salt
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water

Topping:

3 eggs
4Tb plain yogurt

Dough: Let the dry yeast disolve in 1/2 cup lukewarm water and leave it for 5 minutes, while in a large bowl mix wheat flour, chappati flour, oil, plain yogurt, ajwain seeds, salt, then add the yeast-water slowly in your bowl, handmix everything, don't put in all water at same time, take some and mix it in with your hand till the water is absorbed in the mixture, add some more, but remember very slowly, the dough gets sticky and mealy very easily if you pour the water at once! So be sure you do it slowly especially the first time, and if the dough do get sticky then add some more wheat flour to it. Remember that naan dough should be soft, just like a pizza dough.

A useful tip is that after mixing the ingredients aswell as the water, wash you hands completely and rub some oil on your hands then innshAllah your dough won't be sticky.
Let it stand for 1 hour (the longer the better)

Topping: Whisk the eggs, add the plain yogurt to it.

Rub your hand with some oil and take a handful naan dough and start rolling it out as a round shape and about 1 cm thick, add some wheat flour before rolling so that it won't stick to anything, take some oil on your oven pan and place the round shaped naan on it, spread 1Tb of the topping on each naan.

On high heat, bake for 10 minutes (or till it gets yellowish golden)


Bismillah karein!
