Naan

Yesterday I was making some recipes from the excellent book Mangoes & Curry Leaves and I wanted some naan to go with dinner. I’ve had one experience with homemade naan before and I left with the impression that without a Tandoor oven to cook it in, it wasn’t worth the trouble. Well, I was about to be corrected.

While I was reading the recipe, I noticed that both the dough and the cooking instructions were extremely similar to my huge passion, pizza. All kinds of buzzers went off in my head, and I made the dough. I didn’t adapt too many of the Peter Reinhart techniques other than to get my oven really hot and well in advance so my stone was at full heat. I made the dough, and cooked it into these beautiful breads, and they tasted awesome. No more Trader Joe’s naan for us! So good and fresh. Almost like pizza dough…

Pictures next time, since I was way too overwhelmed with the other dishes to take any.
