I'm in the search for the perfect flat bread recipe. Help me.

I want to try a yogurt naan recipe today.

Yeah, I was looking at that one, but I was a little hesitant because I wasn't sure if no yogurt was traditional, or if egg was traditional. I'll give it a whirl though, maybe substitute yogurt for milk.

i see. wikipedia sez yogurt is optional though "typical"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naan#Description

you could google "traditional naan" if you wanna do some archaeology though.

I've got this one rising right now. I tasted the dough and it seemed really sweet though. I'm kind of worried!

sometimes, when i think the world is going to send me over the edge, i can come to SYG and there will be something like this. Never underestimate the healing power of the mundane.

i wouldn't worry, the sugar is to get the yeast going. it eventually gets turned into CO2. though it seems a lot of sugar-- but see what happens when it's all over.

eh, experimentation rules & you'll get your own perfect version some day.

edit: actually, 1/4 cup sugar is not much for 4 1/2 cups of flour

It went good. I do think I'll reduce the sugar just a tad next time. It was good, but just a tad sweet for my tastes.

I found that one person suggested folding and rerolling the naan over and over to create air pockets so that it fluffs up. That worked out very well.

I then tried to add black sesame seeds into it and it tended to make the bread flat, I guess the sesame seeds destroyed the pockets. In this way with less sugar it would make good gyro/kebab bread.

I used a latke pan with good results.

I think I can improve by switching to bread flour (I only have all purpose, which is great for cakes and other uses, but I think higher gluten will improve my bread) and also by buying gee to cook it in, so I can get the pan hotter without it smoking. I'd also experiment with honey, brown sugar (I used cane sugar), and maybe doing 1/2 cup whole wheat flour.

I think I've found something I can mess with to get the results I want though.

I want to start experimenting with baguette too. Good baguette and good flat bread and I'll be set for life!

Cooking's rather exciting compared to threads like "who have you been told you look like?" which dominate this forum.

less sugar will slow up the yeast so adjust your times. recipe called for bread flour if i recall-- no? if you don't have you can add some gluten to regular flour, but yeah the gluten holds the pockets of CO2 from the yeast farts making the bubbles. whole wheat will require added gluten, usually, or the bread will turn out flat. it's an art not a science so you'll figure out the best combo.

funny i should write here, cuz i've giving up eating grains and i feel awesome without them-- do i miss bread and butter? of course-- but with a nice slice of grilled wild coho salmon all nostalgia vanishes away. i just had an awesome breakfast by the way.
