naan bread aka indian bread


2 c Flour
1t sugar
1t salt
pinch baking soda
2 T Oil
2 1/2 T Plain Yogurt

3/4 c warm water
1t yeast

olive oil


Dissolve yeast in warm water, while that is dissolving Mix dry ingredients, add oil and yogurt until all of it is incorporated. {let rise for 3-4 hours until doubled in size} use oil on your hand to keep from sticking. Separate dough into 6 equal parts and roll out using a little flour and rolling pin - into an oval shape about 1/4 thick (dont go too thin)

It is custom to make these in a special clay oven called a Tandoor but a super hot oven will work. If you have a "pampered chef stone" use that. Preheat  your oven with the stone inside to 450 degree's. Place your dough on the stone and bake (mine took about 5-6 minutes) until brown spots start to appear. brush with olive oil or butter and serve!
