Make the dough
In a mixer or by hand
Take the water, mix in the yogurt, remaining flour and PRE_MIX, kneed or mix into a dough. This can take 15mins by hand or 7-10mins with a mixer.
Halfway through incorporate 2/3 ghee
Once dough is strong, white ish and elastic, add remaining ghee and kneed for a further 2 mins.
Shape into a large ball and leave to rest under a bowl for 20mins
After rested, grease a large bowl with butter and place dough into it. Cling film or air tight the bowl with a lid.
Either prove for another 4 hours at room temp or put in fridge over night.
Ball up
If you put the dough in the fridge, take out 3 hours before you want to use
The dough should be at least double in size.
Drop out the dough on a lightly floured surface. With a knife chop and ball up into 50g (small) or 80g (large) balls
Flour each ball and cover them with a cloth or in a container with lid. Leave for 1-2hrs at room temp.
Make em
Heat a heavy based pan until very hot
Take each one on a flour surface and either stretch out to shape, or use a rolling pin.
Place each naan into the pan to cook, until bubbles appear, check the bottom for browning, turn and cook on the other side. flip once more and then place on a plate- butter if you want the best, don't butter if you want to be healthy!
