Servings 8

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 tsp yeast for bread-making
• 250 g white spelt flour
• 1 tsp raw cane sugar
• 1/2 tsp rock salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp plain yoghurt
• 100 ml water
• ghee/butter to brush naans
• chopped coriander, cumin seeds etc to taste

Instructions

 

• Add all the ingredients except the ghee/butter to the bread-maker and put on the pizza setting. Panasonic bread-makers (the best kind as far as my research goes) have a pizza setting (45 mins); other makes should have a similar short dough setting.
• When finished, remove from the bread-maker and place on a flour-dusted board.
• Chop into 8 pieces.
• Use your hands or a rolling pin to stretch the 8 pieces into ~1 cm thick circles or ovals.
• Brush with ghee or butter, grind on a little rock salt, and place under a hot grill for a few minutes each side.
• Serve warm with whichever curry you fancy!
