Breadmaker: Naan Bread

I have carpal tunnel and have difficulty kneading dough, so I use a breadmaker. These are not as good as the ones cooked in a traditional tandoor oven, but are still delish.

Use a pizza stone instead of the baking tray if you have one.



Ingredients

2 cups bread flour or plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried yeast
4 tbs milk
1 tbs vegetable oil
2 tbs natural yoghurt
1 egg

Method

1. Add ingredients to breadmaker in the order recommended by your breadmaker manual (mine stipulates all the wet ingredients first, then the dry, then the dried yeast last).

2. Set machine to the "Dough" cycle and press start.

3. Preheat the oven and a baking tray to 220'C/ 425'F.

4. When the machine is finished, remove the dough and cut into three pieces*. Roll each out into a tear drop shape about 1/2" thick, and place onto the hot baking tray.

*I cut mine into six small pieces as there are five of us and the kids can't eat a whole naan by themselves.

5. Bake until puffed up and golden on the top, about 10-15 minutes. Remove and brush with melted butter or a mixture of melted butter and crushed garlic or herbs, if desired.
