n is for naan

Well, I did it. I found a recipe and I tested it today. I would say it was a hit! It wasn't too involved and, although we are saving it for dinner tonight, I made two flatbread pizzas with it for lunch. Kate, who never eats lunch, gobbled it up and asked for more. It made for a fast, easy, tasty lunch. I think I may make this every couple weeks so I have some on hand. Thanks for asking for this one, Abby!

Naan (From Betty Crocker's New International Cookbook)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup plain yogurt

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup milk

vegetable oil

poppy seeds

Mix all ingredients except milk, oil, and poppy seeds. Stir in enough milk to make a soft dough. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about five minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover; let rest in warm place 3 hours.

Divide dough into 6 or 8 equal parts. Flatten each part on lightly floured surface, rolling about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with oil; sprinkle with poppy seed.

Place 2 cookie sheets in oven ; heat to 450. Remove cookie sheets from oven and place breads on hot cookie sheets. Bake until firm, about 6-8 minutes.

Joey took over the "lightly floured surface" after I was done rolling and had a ball. She was singing and chatting and just making pictures in the flour. She also enjoyed "painting" the oil onto the bread. It's a good one to have little helpers on.
