Having Naan of It



Let me apologize to you, dear readers, for not updating the blog in a long time. I wish I had an excuse, like I had traveled around Europe and the middle east trying to find the perfect kebab, but, alas, I have nothing that good.

For those not familiar with naan, it's a delicious Indian flat bread that is overpriced at restaurants. I keep thinking that there is not much to naan and that it can't be very hard to make.

I tried this recipe which had a great taste but did not exactly have the right texture. I want to give it another try, but I want to try to cook these on the bbq at a really high temperature. Even with the oven at 500 degrees, these took a little too long to cook. This is a bread that is best if it cooks really fast at a high temperature.

Some other pointers:

-The recipe has everything in ounces, 9 ounces of flour is 1 cup and 2 tbsp.

-I used 4 ounces of milk, it calls for 3.5 to 4.5, why do recipes do that?

-It did not rise much, but I think the kneading is more important, it's easy if you have a machine that will do the kneading for you.
