Naan Bread


1 c. warm water
3 tbsp. milk
1 egg (beaten)
1/4 c. butter (melted)
1 tea. salt
1 (.25 oz ) package yeast
1/4 c sugar
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Leave for 10 mins. Should look frothy. Stir in milk, sugar, egg, salt and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead dough for 6-10 mins on floured surface. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside. Leave for 1 hour, it will rise to twice it's size.
2. Punch dough down and knead. Pinch off small handfuls of dough (golf balls) roll in to ball and place on tray. cover with a towel. Let sit for around 30 mins until it again has doubled its size.
3 Preheat Grill to the highest heat. Roll dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, cook for 2 to 3 mins, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, cook until browned, another 2-4 mins. Remove from grill. Repeat with rest of balls of dough.
Note: Another thing i like to do.. is add fresh rosemary to the dough. you don't have to but it gives it an exotic taste.
