Naan Bread

Ingredients:

180 mL warm water
125 mL plain yogurt
30 mL vegetable oil
12 mL instant yeast
625 mL all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
melted butter for brushing
sea salt for sprinkling

Method:
1. Place the water, yogurt, oil, yeast, 2 1/4 cups of the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until it becomes to awkward. Pour the remaining flour on a clean work surface and tip the dough out onto it. Knead the dough for about 3 minutes, working in the remaining flour. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to rise for an hour.
2. Turn the dough out onto a work surface lightly dusted with flour and divide it into 6 pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a rough circle about 8 or 9 inches across.
3. Heat a cast iron or any other heavy bottomed skillet on high heat. Drop in a naan and cook for about 90 seconds, until browned in spots on the bottom. Use tongs to flip the naan over to cook another 90 seconds, until the bubbles blister and turn toasty brown. Brush the naan with melted butter, and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. Stacking the naan will keep it warm until ready to serve.
