* 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
* 1 cup warm water
* 1/4 cup sweetness (sugar, honey) this quantity can be reduced
* 3 tablespoons kefir/yogurt/milk
* 1 egg, beaten
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 4 1/2 cups AP flour (or 2/3 AP & 1/3 wheat flour)
* 1/4 cup butter, melted
1. 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.
2. Fold down dough, and knead in any additions. 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.
3. During the second rising, preheat griddle to high heat (careful about the heat, you don't want to burn your naan!)
4. At griddle side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil griddle. 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.
Optional Ingredients:
2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1/2 bulb roasted garlic, green onion, cheeses, herbs, spices, roasted cauliflower, chicken, partially rehydrated dried fruit, seeds...etc.
