Here's Lisa's naan recipe:
Whisk together:
2 cups flour (all purpose or bread flour)
3/4 tsp. salt
In separate bowl, combine:
3/4 cup soymilk (lukewarm)
1 packet active dry yeast
pinch of sugar
Add to liquid ingredients:
2 tbsp. buttermilk (you can make this adding ~4 drops of lemon juice to 2 tbsp soymilk)
2 tbsp. butter, melted
Add all liquid ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix by hand and then knead for 4-5 minutes. Dough may be sticky. Place dough in an oiled bowl, spray top of dough with oil, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1.5 hours at 70-80 degrees. If your house is too cold, you can microwave a mug of water until it is boiling, then place the bowl of dough in the microwave with the hot water.
Close the door.
About 20 minutes before the dough is ready, chop about 1/2 cup of onion and 2 cloves of garlic and saute until soft but not browned.
Preheat oven to 475F.
Punch down the naan (literally).
Place a cookie sheet in oven for about 5 minutes before baking the naan so that it is hot.
Cut naan into fourths. Working with one at a time (covering the rest so they don't dry out), on a lightly floured surface, roll out the naan so it is about as big as your hand. Spread approx. 1 tbsp. of the onion mixture evenly on the naan. Fold it over, and then roll it out so that it is teardrop shaped and about 8 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Brush melted butter on top and bake 2 naans at a time for 6-7 minutes.
Makes 4 naan. Serve warm.
