Recipe for Naan bread topped with assorted seeds
Ingredients
- 320 grams strong plain flour, some extra to flour the rolling surface
- 1 tsp baking powder
- less than 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 100 ml beaten natural yoghurt
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 1-2 cups of whole milk, depending how much is required during kneading
- For the spice toppings (3 different options):
- 1/2 tsp each of aniseed, nigella seeds, carom seeds and sesame seeds
- 2) 1/2 tsp each of dried mint leaves, pounded dry roasted cumin and coriander seeds
- 3) An equal mixture of sumac and zaa’tar
Cooking Directions
Sift the flour with all the dry ingredients and then place in a large bowl.
Make a hole in the middle and pour the egg the ghee and work the dough into a ball –
now add the yoghurt. If required, add a bit of milk and create a fairly firm dough.
Continue to knead the dough very well until you create a smooth dough ball. Cover lightly with a little ghee and place
in a glass bowl and cover with a wet tea cloth and allow to rise in a cool place for a maximum of 2-3 hours (minimum 1 hour). The dough should be doubled.
Once ready, knead again and divide into 7-8 small round balls.
With a rolling pin roll the dough into an oblong naan with tapering ends and pierce with a fork all over.
Brush naan lightly with ghee then milk and then sprinkle either of the spice blends above.
