( recipe below) 5 min naan bread... What youll need . . . 1 cup organic wholemeal flour 1/2 cup rye flour Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt 1/2 cup water..... Method : Whisk together the dry ingredients. Then add in the water/yogurt. Stir until combined. Then place atop a generously floured work surface and knead. Refrigerate overnight (at least -- 2 days is better). Divide into balls (I made 6) and -- again -- generously flour a work surface. Youll want to flatten each of the balls until its as thin as you can get it without holes. Heat a fry pan over high heat and a bit of olive oil in there. Then toss one dough disk on the hot pan and let cook for 30 seconds or so. Flip over and then press down with a tea towel to get all the nooks and crannies. Flip over again and then again. Until browned. Repeat. Slice and enjoy.
