Most excellent naan bread.

It was curry night this evening. The time has changed last night for the winter one, so it started getting dark after 5pm. I thought a nice naan bread with that curry would be appreciated, especially by bread loving Child and curry loving Husband. I flipped through internet hoping to find a decent recipe, settled on one quite quickly and after sifting through thousands of unnecessary words leading up to the actual recipe, as usual, finally got cooking, with Izzie’s help.

We used 280 g pf plain flour, some of which made us a nice starter with 20g of fresh yeast and 120 ml of warm water. After about 10 minutes we added the starter to the remaing flour, plus a tsp of sugar and a tsp of salt, 120 g of youghurt bianco, a splash of oil and got it all working in the Kitchen Aid. I ended up adding some more flour, as the dough was super sticky and runny.

After less than an hour of resting it, we were ready to get on with it. Butter chicken curry from The Spice Tailor kit was nearly ready, today with prawns, rice was ready, melted butter with garlic and coriander was ready to be brushed all over the naans. Izzie rolled out the dough, I was cooking it really quickly on a super hot dry frying pan. It blistered beautifully.

First two were eaten immediately, barely cooled and they were gone. That good!

Definitely a keeper this recipe. Ron is coming to visit us in a month, I asked for some more curry kits, they really are excellent.
