Naan Indian Flatbread


Indian flatbread, or na'an, is traditionally cooked in tandoors, a clay cooking vessel that acts partly like an oven and partly like a barbeque pit to produce this unique bread. you can still approximate the texture and flavor of it using a grill or the broiler of your oven!!

Steps


In a small bowl , combine yeast , sugar , and 1 / 4 cup warm 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 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.
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.
On a lightly floured work surface , roll each dough ball into a disk.
