Tandoori Flat Bread
 
Be the first to rate this recipe
 
(Naan)

For this method, we use a cast-iron skillet and a baking stone to replicate a tandoor oven. Moti Mahal's bread maker forms its naan into a triangle; we stretch ours into a circle that fits the skillet. Whisk together 4 cups flour, 1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tbsp. salt, and 1 tbsp. sugar in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together 1 1⁄4 cups milk, 1⁄3 cup plain yogurt, 2 tbsp. canola oil, and 1 lightly beaten egg. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture; mix into a dough. Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth, 10–12 minutes. Form dough into a ball; cover with towel; let rest for 30 minutes. If using, place a baking stone on the middle oven rack; heat oven to 500° (or 550°, if possible). Divide dough into 12 pieces; cover with towel. Working with 1 dough piece at a time, stretch it over a medium inverted bowl into a 6"–8" circle. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Peel dough off bowl; lay in skillet. Bake until puffed on top, 2–3 minutes. Brush naan with butter. Makes 12.
