CHEESY CHILLI NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Preperation:.
• Lightly flour a dry surface.
• Place a sheet of greaseproof paper on a baking tray.
• Place all dry ingredients in a mixer, ensuring that the salt and the yeast are separated.
• Form a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the Oil and Water.
• Mix on a low setting for 4 minutes until the dough has formed and has come away from the sides of the mixing bowl.
• Remove from mixing bowl and place onto the floured surface.
• The dough should be relatively stretchy so gently knead for a maximum of 1 minute and then separate the dough into two equal pieces.
• Shape each piece into a ball and place on the baking tray, ensuing they are separated by at least 10cm.
• Cover the tray and leave to rise in a warm area for a minimum of 1 hour. If you are covering with a plastic bag or cling film, lightly rub some oil on the top of the dough to prevent them from sticking.
• Method:.
• Once the dough has risen, place onto a lightly floured surface.
• Roll each ball out to a maximum thickness of 1cm.
• Sprinkle the cheese in the centre of the dough.
• Pull the edges of the dough inward and form together to seal the cheese inside.
• Rollout the dough again to a maximum of 0.5cm thickness. The folds made from sealing should no longer be visible and there should not be any gaps where the cheese can escape from.
• Heat a large, lightly oiled pan.
• Once the oil has heated up, place one of rolled out naans into the pan, folded side down.
• Heat for 4 minutes, on a relatively high heat, lightly shaking the pan after 2 minutes to ensure dough does not stick. Bubbles should now have formed on the top layer.
• Turn over and repeat, heating the other side for 3 to 4 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from the pan and serve, placing a small amount of butter on top.

EASY NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Put the flour in a large bowl, then add the sugar, baking powder and 1½ tsp salt. Add the seeds, if you like. Lightly whisk to disperse the ingredients evenly throughout the flour.
• Add 1 tbsp of the melted butter, followed by the natural yogurt. Mix together with your hands. Once the yogurt and butter have been absorbed, gradually add 180-200ml water, 50ml at a time. Mix between additions, until it begins to come together into a dough. The water amount will depend on the consistency of the yogurt and butter - stop adding when you have a ball of dough.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead thoroughly for 5 mins until smooth and elastic. Put in an oiled mixing bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for at least 1 hr. The dough will not rise but it is important to let it rest as this helps to make the naans less chewy and more fluffy.
• If making the garlic butter, mix the garlic with the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter and the coriander. Set aside.
• Divide the dough into eight, 10 or 12 even-sized pieces, depending on how big you want the naans. Roll into round balls, then return to the bowl, covered with a tea towel.
• Roll one of the dough balls out on a lightly floured surface into a round, oval or teardrop shape - roll with a diagonal motion to get an oval. Flip the dough over and repeat on the other side.
• Heat a frying pan. Dry fry the dough over a medium high heat until it begins to puff up and the underside browns in places. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the cooked naan from the pan. Spoon a little of the garlic butter over the naan, if using. Sprinkle over some coriander, if you like. Cover with a tea towel while you repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough.
