Mebh posted:Speaking of naan bread. I recommend trying to make it. It's super easy. Yoghurt, self rising flour, salt, ghee, oil or butter to brush with after if you like. My naan recipe involves 90 minutes of waiting which makes it a faff in my opinion. Are you telling me I just mix it and bake? Post ur nan recips • 250g plain flour • 15ml white caster sugar • 8g dry yeast • 5ml salt • 45g greek yoghurt • 25g olive oil • 180ml water lukewarm • 30g unsalted butter melted • 30g garlic puree • 30g fresh coriander chopped 1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, salt 2. Separately, whisk together the yogurt, oil, and water 3. Combine and mix with a fork 4. Knead into a soft, slightly sticky dough 5. Place ball of dough in floured bowl 6. Flour top of ball and cover bowl with damp cloth 7. Leave in warm location for 90m 8. Remove to floured surface and divide into 6 9. Roll out each piece and place in hot skillet 10. When browned on bottom, flip over until browned 11. Remove from pan and brush with garlic butter mixture 12. Sprinkle with chopped coriander

Just imagining you getting an entire naan, unpackaged, through the letterbox, via royal mail. There's gotta be a market for that right? Just an app where you press a button and it sends someone to shove a naan through your letterbox?

You could butter the stamp to affix it to the naan.

Obviously if you were doing this professionally you would invent the naan-franker.

That's why he's using baking powder (that's what's in self-rising flour) not yeast. Probably less authentic or w/e but if it works it works. To be honest, I've made naan before at home, and it's pretty good, but it's not the same as the thin, slightly charred restaurant stuff - I suspect to get it really right you do need a tandoor oven or at least an industrial flat-top type cooking surface (see also why the supermarket stuff is not even in the ballpark, though obviously you can get closer). Miss where I used to live, though, where I could walk round the corner to the takeaway indian place and they'd sell you just the fresh made naan, 3 for a quid. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Mar 2, 2024 |

You can do pretty good if you get a frying pan with a lid. Let it get nice and hot, then a quick brish with butter, slap on the dough, lid on, 2-3 minutes. That should make the flat base and bubbly top, then brush the top and flip, 1-2 minutes to scorch the top, and it should come out not 100 miles away from a proper one. A tray in a very hot oven works too.

imo its fine to make a flat bread with chemical leaveners if you must, but i think it really suffers from not having a yeast ferment

I really enjoyed The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green. I listened to it as an Audiobook and Green is a really emotive storyteller. A few of the essays moved me to tears, particularly one about the last Kauai' o'o', a bird that mates for life and spent its whole life searching for a partner that never existed.

My kebab place makes fresh naans on the spot, rolling them out from some super-springy dough, then baking them in this thing a bit like a wood burner. They're great!

Microplastics posted:Are you telling me I just mix it and bake? You can with self raising. It won't be as good as yours but I wasn't going to post a complex recipe when trying to convince people to make their own! It's still leagues ahead of store bought. If you really want to up your game, make a poolish. It's an overnight ferment that adds a shitload of fluffiness and flavour to the bread. It's also the secret to good neopolitan pizza dough. https://theperfectchocolatechipcookie.com/naanbread.php is the one I'm currently making. I do it in my ooni pizza oven because I don't have kids, so I just spend money on kitchen equipment like a goof. I actually am having to go to the gym to get more muscle because my carbon steel wok is too goddamn heavy for my weak muscles to do wok hay with without loving up my wrists the next day for work at a desk.

fwiw flatbreads like naan and pita cook very well on a ripping hot cast iron on your stove, too, if you don't have a fancy pizza oven (j/k i want to set something like that up too  )

I'm certain I've proselytised about this before but I think the best Indian bread you can get at home without ordering it from a restaurant or building a tandoor in your back garden, is a frozen paratha. Particularly the Shana brand ones - I'm sure there are other brands that do it the same, but Shana are the best I've found. They're thin discs of frozen uncooked dough. You whack them in a medium-hot un-oiled non-stick frying pan for about 45 seconds, flip them over for another 45 seconds... and that's it. They cook and puff up and taste nearly identical to restaurant ones. For the unitiated, paratha are like a really buttery, flakey, almost croissant-like roti and they are amazing. They're not similar to a naan, really, but I think I prefer them to naan anyway. *Definitely* better than any kind of frozen or heat-at-home supermarket naan. The frozen rotis are similarly good, but roti are not quite as indulgent as parathas. Be aware that some other brands sell frozen *pre-cooked* parathas which are still better than not having any, but nowhere near as good as the frozen uncooked dough disks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMKClKm2G1k They do garlic or onion ones too which are amazing. I think they also do (or at least, some other brands do) potato or cauliflower-stuffed parathas but IMO those aren't as good. Oh, and they're also basically the same thing as Chinese scallion pancakes, though I think parathas have more fat. WhatEvil fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Mar 2, 2024 |
