Cilantro And Coriander Seed Naan Bread Recipes

NAAN BREAD WITH GARLIC AND CORIANDER/CILANTRO

Steps:

• Make sure your breadmaker is clean and add the ingredients in the order the manufacturer suggests.
• Mix on the dough setting.
• When ready to cook the naan (just before serving), knead for another 50 strokes and then divide into naans (make them as big or as small as you like).
• Form balls of dough and then flatten into thin ovals (to make this easier, you can wet your hands and use your fingertips to spread the dough across the base of a frying pan).
• Use oil spray to stop them from sticking.
• Preheat a grill/broiler.
• Now put the frying pan on medium heat, letting the naan cook until the bottoms are golden-brown (they will move easily when you shake the pan gently).
• Stick the frying pan under the grill (don't let the plastic handle go under too far!), and let the naans cook until puffed up and golden.
• Serve immediately with hommous, beans, curry or just eat them by themselves.
• Alternatively, you can let them cool and then freeze them.

• Divide the dough into small balls and then using a rolling pin, roll it out into oblong shapes.
• On a skillet, place the naan, brush it with little oil.

NAAN (INDIAN FLATBREAD)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup warm (110 to 115 degrees F) water; let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Into the bowl of your food processor, place 4 1/2 cups flour, salt, and baking powder; fit with the dough blade (or use a stand mixer with the dough hook) and mix to combine.
• Add in the yeast mixture, milk, yogurt, egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 3/4 cups warm water and knead until smooth and elastic (2 to 3 minutes - food processor; 5 to 8 minutes - mixer; 8 to 10 minutes - by hand); dough should be soft, but not too sticky, so add flour as needed.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, add dough, turning to coat, then cover bowl with plastic wrap, then a clean kitchen towel; let dough rise, in a warm place, until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch dough down and divide into 8 equal pieces, which you will roll into a ball and place on a lightly floured baking sheet; cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let rise until doubled, about 40 to 60 minutes more.
• If using a tandoor, heat it to 450 degrees F (if using your oven, place a pizza stone on bottom rack and heat to 450; or the grill should be st for direct heating at medium-high heat).
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll each dough ball into a disk about 5 inches in diameter; roll and stretch one end to form a teardrop shape.
• If using a tandoor, drape a piece of dough over the round cloth gadhi, then press bread onto the hot clay wall; cook until the top puffs, gets blishtered and browned, 1 to 2 minutes; gently pry off clay wall and spread with ghee.
• If using the oven, turn on the broiler, lay 1 or 2 pieces of dough on the pizza stone, and cook until the bottoms are browned and the tops blister and puff and are lightly toasted, 2 to 4 minutes; remove from oven and spread with ghee.
• If using the grill, oil the grate lightly, then lightly brush the dough with butter, place buttered side on grill and cook until the bottom is browned and the top is puffed 1 to 2 minutes; lightly butter the top of the dough, then flip and grill the other side until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

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.
