Afghani Naan Bread image

This recipe is from week two of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every country in the world, and Afghanistan is my second stop. Afghani naan is a little different from Indian naan. This version is sweeter, and is cooked on a grill or in a hot pan.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let stand for 10 minutes, until frothy. Add the sugar, milk, egg, salt and flour. Knead for 6-8 minutes (if you are a chump) or use your bread machine.
  • Place the dough on a greased surface, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for one hour.
  • Punch down the dough, then cut into fist-sized pieces and roll into balls. Let rise for another 30 minutes, or until the balls double in size.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan. Flatten each ball into a thin oval shape, then fry in the oil for 2-3 minutes, until puffy and lightly browned. Brush the top with more melted butter, then turn and cook until the other side is also lightly brown. Repeat with remaining dough balls.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of yogurt, but I'm so glad I did. The yogurt actually gives the naan bread a really nice tangy flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
