QUICK NAAN BREAD

Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 medium free-range egg
  • 300ml/10fl oz full-fat milk
  • 375g/13oz plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp melted ghee or butter
Directions
  • For the naan bread
  • preheat the oven to 225C/200C fan/Gas 8 and place a thick baking tray into the oven to heat.
  • Whisk together the sugar
  • egg and milk in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl
  • combine the flour
  • baking powder and salt.
  • Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and knead lightly to make a soft dough - take care not to work the dough too much or it will become too stretchy.
  • When all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly
  • cover with a damp cloth and leave to rest
  • in a warm place
  • for 15 minutes.
  • Once rested
  • knead the dough with the oil until smooth.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls and roll out into a circle of approximately 10cm/4in diameter.
  • Spread the circles on the hot tray in the oven. Bake for 4-5 minutes - you might need to turn the bread to ensure it is all cooked. You will also most likely need to cook the bread in batches. Brush with melted ghee.
