whole wheat naan

it's naan....again!

You may recall, last month--I made naan.

I made it exactly as the recipe told me too, which meant no wheat flour....but I knew I'd come back and change it.

And I did...

...and to my surprise....it was good!!!

I couldn't believe how soft and perfect it still was, even with whole wheat flour!

And remember....it is SO easy!! Whip some up for tonight's dinner--you'll be glad you did!

There were alot of questions as to what you put on your naan.....anything you like! When it's hot, I really love it plain! It's perfect with curry, hummus, or honey butter too!

Whole Wheat Naan

1/2 cup warm water

2 tsp. active dry yeast

1 tsp. sugar

2 cups whole grain flour

1/2 cup bread flour, plus extra for rolling

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 cup olive oil

1/3 cup plain yogurt

1 large egg

melted butter (I used olive oil), for frying

In a large bowl, stir together the water, yeast and sugar and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy.

Stir in the flour, salt, oil, yogurt and egg and stir, then knead until you have a soft, pliable dough. Cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled in size; about an hour.

Divide the dough into 6-8 pieces and on a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece into a thin circle or oval.

Cook each naan in a nice hot skillet drizzled with oil (just a teeny tiny bit--you're not frying it like a scone) until blistered and cooked, flipping as necessary. (When the surface has big blisters and is golden on the bottom, flip it over and cook until golden on the other side.

Makes about 8 naan.

8 yummy naan, just for you.
