Naan Flatbread-from allrecipes.com

We just love this bread! We eat it with salads and other items with sauce to dip in, but our favorite use is to make homemade pizza! ( I will put that in a separate post.)

Prep. Time 1.5 hrs
Cooking Time 4 minutes each side

1 1/2 tblspn yeast with 1 tblspn sugar with 1 cup water - let proof while preparing other ingredients

1 egg - beaten
3 tblspns almond milk (rice or dairy if preferred)
1/4 cup sugar
4 cups flour
1 tspn salt

Mix: egg, milk, sugar
Add: Yeast, blend well
Add: 1/2 flour and mix well, add salt and remaining flour.  Dough should be slightly sticky. Place dough ball in a well greased bowl and rub dough with margarine. Cover with damp cloth place in warm location to rise, about 1 hour.

Knock down and divide into balls ( I get about two medium pizza crust size out of this recipe or two small ones to munch and one larger pizza.)   Let rise again for about 30 minutes. Heat grill to just above medium while dough rises second time.  Roll dough out with rolling pin to very thin circles or rectangles. Sprinkle flour on rolling pin and counter top. Place dough on grill and cook til it takes on a breadish look, then flip and brown other side.  Remove from grill and place on cooling rack.
