Onion and Cheese Naan
I simply love the rain, the heavier the better.
The sound of the rain hitting the roof is so soothing and relaxing that I feel so peaceful and calm. I don't mind the sound of thunderstorm... for some sound-effect, it's all the better.
All I need now is a cup of hot coffee.
I baked this Onion and cheese Naan today for lunch and it was oh so delicious. I sauteed some onion with butter as toppings and some with cheese and garlic.
3 Cups All purpose Flour
3/4 Cup Warm Milk
1/2 Cup Yogurt
1 tsp Sugar
2 tsp Rapid Rise Yeast
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
Loads of Butter
Loads of finely sliced sauteed onion
Cheese of your choice
Some olive oil
In a large mixing bowl add the flour, salt, baking powder, yeast, sugar and mix well.
Add yogurt to flour mixture.
Next the warm milk and knead the dough with a wooden spoon. Dump the dough to a clean surface and knead until you get soft pliable dough, about three minutes.

Cover with a damp cloth and leave that at warm place to rise for about two hours.
After the dough has risen well, grease hands with oil and start to knead dough again.
Divide dough in small golf size balls. I got about 8 balls.

At this point you want to preheat the oven to 200 deg Celsius (you only need to ON the top dial only) and put a non stick pan on a medium heat. We are going to brown the bottom of the naan in the skillet.
You don't need to dust the surface with flour, just wipe it with oil and pat the dough ball into an oblong shape. Take a spoonful of sauteed onion or cheese and spread all over the dough press it gently.
Take the prepared naan and place it on the skillet for about two minute for the bottom to brown. You can do as many naan at this point and arrange in on a baking tray.
Place the tray on a upper rack (with the top heating only) for about 10 - 12 min.
Keep an eye at this point as it tends to brown very quickly. About half way rub some butter generously all over the naan and continue baking.

Remove and serve the naan hot with curry.
