Naan Bread

BM260 and BM366 Program 7

Method

1. Remove the bread pan from the bread maker and the fit kneader.
2. Pour the water, yoghurt, melted butter, ghee or olive oil into the bread pan. Then add the rest of the ingredients except for the yeast.
3. Make a well in the centre of the flour, but not down as far as the liquid, add the yeast.
4. Insert and lock the bread pan into the bread maker. Select program 7 DOUGH from the menu. Press start.
5. Just before the end of the cycle place 3 baking sheets in the oven and preheat the oven to it's highest setting. At the end of the cycle, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knock back the dough and divide into 3 equal pieces and shape into balls.
6. Roll out into oval shapes about 25cm (10 in) long and 13cm (5 in) wide. Preheat the grill. Place the naan on the preheated baking sheets and bake for 4-5 minutes, until puffed up. Remove from the oven and place under the preheated grill, until browned slightly and puffed up.
7. Brush with melted butter or ghee and serve warm.

Variations
Add 5ml (1tsp) each of ground coriander and cumin with the flour for a spicy naan. To make a wholemeal naan substitute 50% of the white bread flour with the wholemeal. If wished include a crushed garlic clove and/or a little freshly ground black pepper for a savoury twist. Black pepper can also be used as a final dusting after brushing with melted butter or ghee.
