Naan (inspired bread from Artisan Bread in Five)


To make Naan:
1/2-pound (orange size) piece dough of your choice. Roll the dough to 1/16th-inch thick circle.
2 tablespoons Ghee, clarified butter or European style butter (You can use regular butter, but you have to be careful of the butter burning. The ghee and clarified butter have a higher burning point and allow you to cook without worry of it burning.)
salt to taste
naan
Heat a heavy bottom Cast Iron Skillet to medium temperature. Add the butter and melt, swirl it to coat the bottom of the pan.

Lay the dough into the pan.

Cover the pan to trap the heat in order to “bake” the bread.

After about 2 1/2 minutes flip the dough with a pair of Tongs. Sprinkle with salt and cook, covered for another 2 1/2 minutes.

Try with garlic, or cinnamon and sugar...
