Naan Bread:
2 cups flour or wheat flour
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 cup yogurt (I used plain greek yogurt)
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 Tblsp sugar
1/2 Tblsp oil (I used olive)
Mix all dry ingredients together and make a well of flour (a little hole for the liquids to sit in the milk), (I actually just skipped the well and mixed it all in a bowl). Mix milk and yogurt together and pour half of it into the well and slowly combine it together. Add liquid slowly and combine it all together until soft dough is made. the dough should be soft enough for you to be able to dig your finger into it without applying any pressure. If dough sticks to hand too much then use a little bit of oil on your hand and then punch into the dough. Cover with damp cloth and let it sit in a warm place for at least 2 hours.
After a few hours, dust your working surface, take out the dough and knead it for about 2-3 minutes. Divide the dough into smaller balls (about 8 balls). Dust the surface again and flatten the balls to make bread which is a little thick and elongated. At this point, if desired, you can sprinkle on flavor to it. I used cumin mixed with a little melted butter and lightly spread on top of one side of the bread. You can also use cilantro or garlic. Brush the other side with water. Heat a thick bottom skillet. Once its hot place naan wet side down and cover with lid. Let it cook for about 30 seconds or until you see bubbles on it. Now cook the other side of the naan over direct flame of the burner with the help of tongs. when you see some charred brown spots then you know its done. Repeat with remaining naan. EnJOY!
