Naan

[Blues Heron]

going to make Naan again tonight! break out the pizza stone!

I found a source for Black Cumin (Nigella Sativa) which really makes this bread (note - it's also known as black caraway, although it's neither cumin nor caraway)

mixed

3 cups All purpose flour
2 cups water
2 Tb melted butter
3 Tb yogurt
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 Tb black cumin seeds
1 tsp instant yeast

Now I have a very wet dough sitting in a bowl on the counter. As soon as it begins to rise I'll give it a quick knead and then put it in the fridge for use later this afternoon. I'll probably be working in a bit more flour, but I want this to be a very soft dough.

------
OK just worked in about 2/3 cup more flour, dough is still very soft - had to use the dough scraper on the bread board

1. just kneaded in 1/2 cup more flour, put it in the fridge

Should have used more flour initially. This is going to be a nice exercise in judging dough consistency!

2. dough looking good now

It's been in the fridge for about 5 hours, took it out and gave it a punch down/ knead, it has firmed up from the cold, has now got that silky quality, looking good! Will fire up the stone soon!

4. The stone makes naan at home so much easier

I use kalonji (nigella)too and agree about it making the bread so good.
