As I mentioned in my earlier post of dinner rolls, I made 12 dinner rolls from the recipe I just posted and saved the 4 rolls to make naan. You can make plain or garlic naan out of this. I decided to make Chili/Garlic/Cilantro Naan.
Ingredients:
- 8-10 cloves of garlic
- 1 fresh Jalapeno or 2 Serrano peppers
- One small bunch of fresh cilantro
- You will need a rolling pin and pizza stone
- Chop garlic and peppers in food processor and then add washed
cilantro and give it another spin or two until cilantro is chopped.
- Take it out of food processor and set aside in a bowl.
- You have to let the rolls rise again for second time the same way you did for dinner rolls.
- While the dough is rising again you can prep.
- You will need a pizza stone to bake the naan.
- Spray the pizza stone with cooking oil spray
- Heat the oven to 550 degrees F with pizza stone place on middle rack.
- While the oven is heating you can roll the dough ball in to naan.
- The dough will stretch and shrink so make sure you stretch the round
in between and one it is shaped to desired size go to next step.
- Place a handful of chopped Chili/Garlic/Cilantro on rolled naan.
- Spread it evenly and pressing it lightly on to naan.
- Repeat the process until all the four naans are rolled and ready to go.
- You can place them on plastic chopping board or and roll all four of them while the over in preheating.
- Place two naan in preheated oven on the stone (you have to bake two at time.)
- You have to watch them rise and stand right there by the oven.
- Bake it for 3 - 5 min, if desired you and turn them over in between to bake on other side, but you don't really need to.
- I said 3-5 min because all the ovens are different and be sure not
to keep the oven door open for long time as it will cool quickly.
- Take the baked naan out of over and brush it with butter.
- You can make more at one time as these will freeze well. you can just heat them up as you heat up and frozen naan, if you decide to freeze them don't brush with butter until ready to serve.
- You can plain naan with same recipe and can use these naan for naan pizza.
- Serve hot with your favorite curry!!
Enjoy !!
