Naan (with yeast)

Yeast - In ¾ cup of Lukewarm Water, dissolve 1 tsp of active dry Yeast and keep aside for 10 minutes.

Dough – In a bowl, take 2 cups of All Purpose Flour, a tsp of Sugar, a tsp of Salt, a pinch of Baking Soda and mix well. To it, add 2 tbsp of Oil, 2½ tbsp of Yogurt and mix well to make dough. Add yeast mixture and knead to make smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough and keep in a warm place for 3-4 hours till the dough becomes double in volume.

Naan - Heat a pizza stone in the oven for 30 minutes at 500 F and then put it on high broil. Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes and divide the dough into six equal parts. Take each piece of dough, one at a time, and roll into 8-inch oval shape. Dust lightly with dry flour to help with the rolling. Lightly wet your hands and take the rolled Naan, and place onto the pizza stone in the oven. In about 2-3 minutes, the naan will have golden brown color on top and is cooked. Take it out of the oven and brush lightly with Ghee.
