Naan

Naan (from here)

Notes: This is so good!

1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 c. white sugar
3 tbsp. milk
1 egg beaten
2 tsp. salt
4 1/2 c. bread flour (I've always used all-purposed unbleached)
2 tsp. minced garlic (optional)
1/4 c. butter

In a large bowl, dissolve yease in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until msooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise about 1 hour or until the dough doubled in volume.

Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size. About 30 minutes.

During the second rising, preheat grill (I used the George Foreman grill) to high heat.

At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill (no need if using a George Foreman). Place dough on grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill and continue with remaining balls.
