Very soon this page will contain recipes for you to use along with your new Cuizinette bread knife :).
We can share one here which is for Three Plain Naan Bread in a Panasonic bread machine:
In the pan
- 1 tsp yeast
- 280g Strong White Flour
- 4 tbsp natural yoghurt
- 1 garlic clove finely chopped
- 1 tsp black onion seeds (v cheap from indian supermarket)
- 1tsp ground coriander
- 1tsp salt
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp melted butter (or ghee)
- 100ml water
After the machine has finished the cycle you will also need :
- 1tbsp fresh coriander
- a little melted butter for glazing the cooked naan
Method
1.Put the ingredients in your breadpan, starting with the yeast, then the flour, then the others, which is the normal order for Panasonic.
2. Put the machine on the pizza dough cycle which is 45 mins for the Panasonic
3. When finished, put your oven on to pre-heat on its highest setting, and put your baking sheets inside to get them to become hot before you even put the dough on them. Tip out the dough onto a floured board, punch down, and knead in 1tbsp fresh coriander. Divide the dough in three pieces
4. Shape each pece into a ball. Work with one, keeping the other two covered while you do so. Roll out into a large teardrop shape, about 1/4 in to 1/2 in thickness.
5. At this point, put you grill on to its highest setting too.
6. Put the nan in the hot oven on the preheated baking sheets for 4 to 5 mins. They will puff up.
7. Remove the baking sheet(s) from the oven, and put them under the grill for a few seconds, until the naan start to brown and blister.
Alternatively put your three naans in the oven first then when done turn on the grill and put them on the grill (if your grill is within the same oven).
If you would like to give a more authentic taste to your Naan instead of them being plain, then add
- 1 garlic clove finely chopped
- 1 tsp black onion seeds (it is relatively cheap and is sometimes called kalonji seeds)
- 1tsp ground coriander
in the pan just before the salt.
Ok, ok you might not need our knife so much to cut your Naans but the recipe really is delicious, try it!
