I did a trial at home on Naan Bread to make up my mind if this will be part of what I will do at the VICCOG.

I like the idea of it as I dont want to take too many COs and this can be done in the CI frypan while the food bubbles away. I think BBCs are perfection but his recipe is for a large quantity and I found one on Youtube that is smaller.

Most of the ingredients are similar with the exception of the Coriander and Cummin, as I am a fan of both I added them. Also more yoghurt in BBCs. BBC has warned sometimes he gets complaints about the herbs being a bit strong but I added only the following to mine and although the smell was great and the taste was there next time I will add double.

No. 3 daughter was visiting and there was some conversations about size, shape and thickness but I was happy enough with the end result and didnt set out to be as good as the Indian Restaurant she goes to.

Ingredients:
2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon dry yeast (I used l packet)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Pinch of Baking soda
1 teaspoon of ground cummin (try maybe 1 1/2 or 2)
2 teaspoons of ground coriander try (maybe 3 or 3 1/2)
2 Tablespoons oil
2 1/2 tablespoons yoghurt
3/4 cup luke warm water

I THEN DID IT MY WAY

I made a sponge of the packet of yeast, the sugar and a tablespoon of flour mixed with 1/4 cup warm water and left to froth and bubble for about 30 minutes.

I mixed all the dry ingredients together then added the sponge mixture, oil, yoghurt and lukewarm water and mixed to a dough.

I turned that out and kneaded for about 5 minutes and then left for an hour to double.

I divided it into 6 but felt they were a bit thick so redivided into 8 and rolled them out to about an 8 inch (hand width) circle.

I then stretched them a little before putting into a fairly hot cast iron pan and popped the bubbles as they fried. Lifted to see underneath and then turned them over and cooked for a few minutes on the other side.

I did a light butter brush to entice the granddies to eat them Cheesy

but this is optional.

The end result was a light puffy bread which was nice hot and we will eat with Sparkys ham and pea soup for dinner

Gonna try that way, a little less fiddly than standard

Very, very nice. I have seen that video before. I reckon a lil garlic in the butter would be nice. Well maybe a lil more than a little. Cheesy

As they say "great minds think alike" Derek Wink

Garlic is worse than using a four letter word in this house.

Personally I love it and the more the better!!!! Its supposed to kill flu germs Cheesy

Hmmm,

Just my opinion Carolyn,
They do look a bit thick, like a pancake or pizza base (sorry)
& 2 1/2 tblsp yogurt? I only use just enough water to kick the yeast off & the rest of the liquid is all yogurt, gives a nice back ground flavour (plus is traditional Indian)

They should puff up & become like pocket bread??? I have to prick them with a fork to stop burning on the blisters.

Cheers, Mick.

Genuinely appreciate your comments BBC, I tried thicker, thinner, bigger, smaller etc you would have had a great time with the daughter and the path to perfection, "Mum is it roti or naan"??? Oh dear, I was happy to have something turn out eatable I didnt really care what it was called. Cheesy

As I said I didnt want to make the big batch like you did and this seemed a similar mixture to me but obviously not to you and your the Guru in this field I feel.

I will use more yoghurt next time. We both felt something was just missing in the taste maybe more salt. They did puff up to some degree and I did remember you pricking them in the short time I watched you.

I will struggle on and hopefully get to see you in action another time.

You comments are always welcome Kiss

Just remember the basic ratio for any bread........two parts dry ingredients to one part wet.

1 tblsp (level) dry yeast to two cups flour.

That way you can do any size you want.
I am trying out some "Compressed yeast" I got from Bakers Delight, will let you know how it goes.

Cheers, Mick.

2x1 ok I can remember that and thanks. Havent seen live yeast for years cant remember when or where might have been at school Cheesy

I have a couple of dried sour dough starters here I was supposed to get activated in the summer and might get them moving, just seemed a lot of fiddling for an impatient cook.

I know elsewhere you said about starting just the ordinary dough overnight creates a nice effect.
