Naan (Indian Flatbread)

Of all the recipes I tried that night, this one is the winner thanks to All Recipes.com. It's a perfect bread to sop up all that yummy sauce from the chicken and lentils! This was the one thing my kids liked, probably because it tastes like a cross between a pita and garlic bread.

Ingredients:

• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3 - 4 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1 t. granulated garlic
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
2. Punch down dough, and knead in granulated garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
3. During the second rising, preheat griddle to medium-high heat.
4. Combine melted butter with minced garlic. You will brush this onto the naan as it cooks.
5. Roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Place dough on lightly oiled griddle, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes.
