return of the naan

were you waiting for this? have you been hanging on the edge of your seat. well i apologize i got a little caught up.


day 2

after you take your naan out of the oven transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, divide it into 5-7 pieces and form each into a tight ball. place the balls on a sheet of parchment pan lined with parchment paper-cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for 45-60 minutes at room temp.

preheat the oven to its highest setting. roll out each piece of dough into flat disks 4-5 inches in diameter. dust the disks with flour and return them to the baking sheet (you can stack them if necessary), cover with a cloth and let rest for 5 minutes.

starting back with the first disk hand stretch the dough like pizza out untill they are 8 inches in diameter and no thinner then 1/4 inches. dust the disks again and let sit cover again for 5 minutes.

flour a baking peel and stretch the dough further to 10 inches and about 1/8 an inch thing. transfer them to the baking peel and poke the surface with a fork.

load your fully shaped and forked naan into the oven. they shouldn't take more then 3-4 mintues to cook.

after removing them from the oven i brushed mine with olive oil-

serve warm & enjoy
