NAAN

(makes 6-8)
Ingredients
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp fresh yeast
¾ cup warm water
1½ cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
1 tbsp oil
1¾ oz/50g unsalted butter plus extra for greasing
1 tsp onion seeds
salt to taste

Method Of Preparation

· Place the sugar and yeast in a small bowl or measuring cup, add the warm water and mix well until the yeast has dissolved. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is frothy.
· Sieve the flour. Place the flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, add the oil and salt, and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix with your hands to form a dough, adding more water, if necessary. Turn out onto a lightly floured counter and knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth.
· Return the dough to the bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1½, or until it has doubled in size.
· Preheat the broiler to high, and grease a sheet of foil. Turn a dough out onto a floured counter and knead for 2 min. Break off small balls with your hands and pat them into circles 4½ inches/12 cm in diameter and ½ inch/1 cm thick.
· Place the dough circles onto the grassed foil and cook under the very hot broiler for 7-10 minutes, turning twice, brushing with the butter and sprinkling with the onion seeds.
Serve warm or keep wrapped in foil until required
