“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Naan #1

 

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 package yeast, dry
2 tsp salt
1 cup water, hot
1 cup buttermilk, or yogurt
1 egg, (room temp)
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp honey, or sugar
2 1/2 cup flour
1 ghee, (clarified butter)
1 garnishes *



 

Preparation

* If desired, you can use cornmeal or sesame or poppy seeds on the
bread. Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir in
water, buttermilk, egg, oil and honey. Beat until smooth with an
electric mixer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft, sticky
dough. Turn onto a floured surface, continue to work in flour until
dough is stiff enough to knead. Knead until smooth and elastic, but
still soft (3 to 5 minutes). Place in an oiled bowl; turning once to
coat top of dough. Cover; let rise until double in bulk (about 45
minutes). Punch dough down. Shape into 16 equal balls. Let rest 5
minutes. Roll out each ball to a 1/4-inch thick round. If desired,
brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garnishes. Set on baking
sheets. Bake at 450 degrees F. for 5 to 8 minutes. NOTE: There is no
second rising in this recipe so that you get flat loaves.
