Butter Naan

There are various versions of naan and I always love to ve a butter naan because of its easy preparation and the melting taste of it. It can be made using tawa and microwave. Here I am using oven to make this recipe. The advantage of using the oven is that we can prepare multiple naans at a time.


Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour or maida
½ cup unsalted butter, cold
3/4 cup plain yogurt or milk
3 tablespoons of hot water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast (Make sure its freshly bought store yeast and not an opened one)
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 egg (pure vegetarians can avoid this
1 tablespoon of olive oil


Method:
In a large bowl add the 3 cups of flour and butter. With your hands, blend the butter into the flour.
Stir water and yeast until yeast is completely dissolved. Now make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the yogurt, sugar, egg, salt and yeast mixture.


Knead into the flour and until the whole dough collects into a mass. It will be wet and sticky.
Wipe your hands clean and oil them. Now knead the dough with the oiled hands until smooth
Cover the bowl and let the dough rest until doubled in volume; about 4 hours. It is essential to keep the dough sticky for the microwave preparation of naan.

knead for a minute and divide into equal portions

Preheat the oven to the maximum heat.
If you have a baking stone; place it in the oven. Arrange a few of the naans in a single layer on the ungreased baking sheets or directly on the baking stone. And bake until they are puffed and brown, 4-5 minutes.
Brush the naans with butter while serving.
Serve hot.
