Basic Pakistani wheat bread. Very similar to naan (basic Indian bread). Very easy and goes nicely with curry. Ingredients:
1 cup warm water |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon dry yeast |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon honey |
2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (approx) |
Directions:
1. Stir the butter into the warm water until it melts (this should take about 1 minute at the most).
2. Stir the yeast and salt in the water/butter mixture until dissolves; then allow the yeast to bloom (10 minutes).
3. Stir in honey.
4. Gradually work in enough flour to make a soft, workable dough.
5. Turn out on a floured board and knead until elastic and smooth.
6. Let rise until doubled in bulk (30 minutes).
7. Preheat oven to 500°F.
8. Turn out on a floured board and knead briefly.
9. Form into 12 balls.
10. Roll each ball out to 1/4-inch thick, and let rise for 15 minutes.
11. Turn over onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes (watch closely so they don't brown too much).
