Naan Bread Machine Recipe
The traditional Naan recipe has been modified to use bread-machine. The bread-machine use is limited to making dough for Naan.
To make dough in bread machine as opposed to manual kneading, you need more moisture (about ¼ cup of more liquid for each
pound of flour). Leavening efficiency may be increased by doubling dry-yeast and sugar, and adding baking
powder.
For one pound flour, you should set bread machine to make 2 pound bread loaf. During dough cycle, check for
stickiness of dough. If the dough his too dry, add 2 Tablespoon of water at a time. If the dough is too
sticky, add more flour.
