Butter Naan

Butter Naan a butter flavored flat bread is one of the most extremely delicious dish of Indian bread.This usually made in clay oven called Tandoor. But, it can also be made  on stove top or our regular oven.Most of the time when we go to restaurants we keep ordering butter naan.Now first time i thought of preparing it in the home.

I cant believe I tried all basic  varieties at home.As everything came out well,it gave me more encouragement to try more new-recipes.This time I have tried using yeast in the oven method.It turned out well,and has the melt in the mouth flavor and texture.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all purpose flour

• Cover the dough and keep in a warm place 3to 4hrs,until double it's volume
• Preheat the oven to 500F (maximum temp).when it reaches the temperature ,turn the oven to high broil.
• Now knead the dough for about 1 to 2 mins and divide into 5 to 6 equal parts,
• Roll each piece of dough into oval or triangle shaped. Dust the surface lightly with the flour while rolling.
