Ingredients

2 teaspoons salt

8 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons sugar

1 cup whole milk

2 eggs

8 tablespoons grapeseed oil, divided

Cold water, if needed

Directions

  1. Sift the salt, flour and baking powder into a large bowl. In another bowl, mix the sugar, milk, eggs and half of the oil together. Pour the milk mixture into the center of the flour mixture and knead together. If it's a little dry add a little cold water. The dough should be soft and pliable.
  2. Add the remaining oil and knead again, then cover for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes knead the dough once again. Cover and set aside for 2 to 3 hours.
  3. About half an hour before the naan is needed, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and put a lightly greased pizza stone into the oven.
  4. Divide the dough into balls and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then shape them into flattened ovals and put on top of the baking stone. Bake the dough until puffed and is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Remove from the stone to a serving platter and serve hot.

I made this today for dinner tonight. It was horribly heavy. I believe that the 8 cups of flour listed is a HUGE error. It said that if the mixture was dry to add a bit of cold water. I probably added an additional 1 cup of water. Consequently, my Naan was extremely heavy. I feel that I wasted the grapeseed oil, that I made a special trip to get along with wasting the flour. Could you please check your proportions and verify. Additionally, this recipe could feed a small army.....4 servings? I don't think so.
