Naan

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
Makes 8 Servings
  1. In a small boel, beat the milk and egg.  In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. With the machine running, pour the milk mixture throught the feed tube until the dough forms a ball. Knead the dough by pulsing until it is smooth, about 30 times.
  2. Spray a large bowl with nonctisk spray; place the dough in the bowl. Cover loosely wiht plastic wrap or a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 3 hours.
  3. Place a large baking sheet on the center of the oven rack; preheat the oven to 450 F. Lightly sprinkle a work surface with flour; turn out the dough. Divide the dough into 8 pieces; flatten each into a 3/8-inch-thick teardrop shape. Transfer the teardrops to the baking sheet. Bake until firm, 10-12 minutes. If you like, run briefly under a broiler to lightly brown the tops. serve hot or at room temperature.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. Naan is an indian flatbread that makes a nice accompaniment to spicy Indian dishes whe you want to cool off your taste buds. This was my first time making naan; it turned out puffy but it tasted delicious. I highly recommend making Naan when ever you're cooking Indian food because the Naan will tone down the heat in your mouth.
