I LOVE naan. This recipe is especially easy w/ a bread machine.
Naan
1 Tbsp oil
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk, (warm, not too hot)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking soda
2 cups bread flour
2 tsp yeast
for later: flour for dusting, 3 Tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 Tbsp nigella seeds
Place first 7 ingredients in order suggested by bread machine manufacturer's. Program for dough cycle. Press start
Line 2 large pans with parchment paper and brush with melted butter. When dough cycle is done, remove dough and place on work surface dusted with flour, divide in 6 equal portions. Roll out each into 4-5 inch flat uneven round or oval shape, about 1/2 inch thick. As they are shaped, place on baking sheet and cover with towel. Each should rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven 450 degrees. Flatten each round with your palm, then stretch on one side to make elongated oval shape. Brush each top with melted butter and sprinkle with nigella seeds. Bake one pan at at time withough turning, until golden brown and crisp, 5-8 minutes.
