Naan is a flat leavened bread, lightly spiced and traditionally baked in the tandoor. This recipe will give you a close approximation of the traditional naan using your kitchen oven.

Ingredients:

4 cups Plain White Flour
2 tablespoon Yogurt
A little Warm water
1 teaspoon Kalonji
2 tablespoons Melted ghee or butter

Directions:

Put the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour the yogurt into the well and mix, add enough warm water to make a soft but firm dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for five minutes or until smooth.

Place the dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place for two hours. It will double in size.

Punch down the dough, add the kalonji and allow to rest. Place a large backing pan on the bottom of the oven and heat to 500°F.

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll out on a lightly floured surface. Put one naan on the preheated baking pan and bake for 60 seconds and put under grill

Remove baked naan, brush with melted butter and keep on a warm plate. Bake the other three naans and serve.
