Garlic & Sesame Naan

I am enjoying participating Monthly Blog Patrolling. Not only does it give me an opportunity to try some of the recipes in my bookmarks, it is also giving me self-control to take pictures before I finish the delectable recipes! :)

One of the things in my to-try list is Naan. And I tried Archana's pan grilled naan. Her easy to follow instructions were great. I made a batch with sesame seeds and another with crushed garlic. It went really well with alu ghobi. We finished the entire batch in one sitting.

Here are my notes - I mixed all purpose flour with whole wheat flour in a half-half proportion. It took double the time for the dough to rise, but it's winter.


Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tspoon salt
1 tspoon sugar
1 tspoon active dry yeast
4 tbspoon butter
2 tbspoon yogurt
1/2 cup water
1 tspoon sesame seeds
1 tspoon crushed garlic

Method:
Dissolve yeast and sugar in the water till it dissolves completely and bubbles appear. Mix flour and salt together and then add yogurt, 2 tbspoon butter and the yeast mix.

Knead till it mixes well together. Put the dough in a warm place and let it rise till it doubles in size. I kept the dough over warm water (just like a chocolate double boiler) and it worked well.

Divide the dough in equal parts. I rolled it and then hand stretched each naan. Brush some butter on top, sprinkle sesame seeds and/or garlic. Heat a grill or flat pan, brush it lightly with butter and cook the naan. Turn it over as it starts puffing up. Brush butter in a few places and cook for another 2-3 min.

Serve warm. This is my entry for Monthly Blog Patrolling - Let's Roll. Thanks Coffee for hosting.
