Home-made Garlic Naan Bread

Adapted from taste.com.au
These are so delicious that we usually end up eating them all within 5 minutes. They are a little bit closer to bread than a traditional naan, making them delicious with soup (as well as a curry). 

Ingredients
3 cups bread flour
8g sachet dried yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp caster sugar
3/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup Greek yoghurt
2 tbs vegetable oil
olive oil spray
2 tbs olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed

In a medium bowl combine flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Add water, yoghurt, oil and mix well with a wooden spoon. Knead dough for 5 minutes or until smooth. If it is too moist add a bit more flour, or add a bit more water if it isn't coming together.


Place dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour. The dough will have doubled in size by this time.

Preheat oven to 250°C. Make sure your baking trays (or ideally a pizza stone) are in the oven while it is heating up. 

Mix olive oil and crushed garlic in a small bowl.  


Once doubled in size, punch down the dough and divide it into 6 portions. Lightly flour a surface and roll out each portion of dough into a 12 x 20cm oval shape. 

Spray or brush one side of the dough with olive oil, place the dough oiled side down on the hot tray/pizza stone. Brush the other side with the garlic oil. Bake on for 5 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Wrap in foil to keep warm and repeat with the remaining dough.

Goes great served with Thai style sweet potato soup.
