Naan


2/3 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups all purp flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
aboout 1/4 cup more vegetable oil for brushing the bread

Directions
Put the sugar, yeast and water in a small bowl and mix until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand until it gets foamy, about 10 minutes.

Put the flour in a big bowl. Make a well in the center and add the 1 tablespoon of oil, the salt and the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly with your hands to form a dough. Add sprinkles of water if needed.

Turn the dough onto a floiured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until dough is smooth.

Return the dough to the bowl, cover with saran wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours. It will double in size.

When you are ready to bake the bread preheat the oven to broil.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 2 minutes. Break off small balls and pat into rounds about 5 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

Cover a baking sheet with tin foil and grease it well. Place 4 dough rounds on the tin foil and brush the surfaces with oil. Bake for 3 minutes. Remove and turn breads over, brushing with more oil. Return to oven and bake 3 more minutes. Remove and brush with oil again. Return to oven again for an additional 2 minutes, being careful that they don't burn. Wrap in tin foil until you are ready to serve. Repeat with remaining dough.
