Topic: British Indian 2go naan recipe

[Aussie Mick]

G'day everyone

I got Raj's naan recipe tonight. No real surprises except one...maybe

This is the batch he makes so you will have to scale it down....sorry

- 10kg self raising flour
- 4 or 5 eggs (depending on size)
- good handful of salt
- good handful of sugar
- 250ml milk
- 4 good chef spoons yoghurt (about 20- 24 tbsps)
- a bit of oil on your hands while working/kneading

No need to sift the flour. Mix it all up, add enough water to make a runny-ish, sticky dough mixture. Knead and put in container. Cover and then leave overnight in the fridge. This is the main tip. it needs an overnight rest for the yoghurt to do it's work. It CAN be used after an hour or two, but best to leave it overnight.

Raj puts this mixture into a 20 litre bucket and fits the lid loosely, and places it in our coolroom. When I come to the shop in the morning, the dough has pushed the lid off, and is creeping down the bucket onto the floor, so make sure you use a big enough container.

We obviously then cook it in the tandoor, so you can use your own cooking methods.

If using a tandoor, i am sure you are all aware that you need to wet the back of the dough with salty water to make it stick. No need to put any oil on the face of the naan before cooking.....unless you want to.

Good luck. More recipes coming soon

Hi Mick

Not biscuity at all. It's restaurant quality naan...simple as.

Thanks for the good wishes, and good luck if you try this.

10000g s/r flour         100%
5 med 5eggs=280g         2.6%
150g salt                1.5%
150g sugar               1.5%
800g yogurt              8.0%
250ml milk               2.5%
5200ml water            52%

This will give a dough with 65% hydration.
cheers mick gona give this a go on a smaller scale.

500g s/r flour
13g egg
7.5g salt
7.5g sugar
40g yogurt
12.5g milk
260g water

will let you know how it turns out.

[h4ppy-chris]

just made the dough
i had to add 40g more water to get the dough right, taking the hydration to 65%
i have altered the recipe on here, so you don't need to add anything.

Many thanks !

Good luck Chris and thanks for "de-scaling" the measurements.

I hope it cooks good using alternative methods, it certainly makes excellent naan bread in our charcoal tandoor.

Chris, sorry for this daft question but does 260g water mean you actually weigh it?

Chris, sorry for this daft question but does 260g water mean you actually weigh it?

It doesn't really matter because 1mL=1g, so it's 260g or 260mL.

What kind of yoghurt?
The places I've seen use set live yoghurt
