Baked Flatbread With Garlic (Lahsooni Naan)















Ingredients
Quantity

Unbleached all purpose flour
4 cups
Baking soda
2 tsp
Cream of tartar
1 tbsp
Sea salt
¼ tsp
Water
½ cup
Egg beaten
2 tbsp
Soya milk or low fat milk
1 cups
Canola oil
2 tbsp
Olive oil or melted ghee
¼ cup
Garlic – minced 
2 cloves


Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Set aside.

Whisk water and egg. Mix egg, soy milk and canola oil in a large bowl. Add flour mixture to soymilk mixture and stir until dough forms a ball. Knead briefly, place in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let dough rest in a warm, draft-free area for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly oil baking  sheets.

Saute garlic in olive oil for 2 minutes. Set aside.

Lightly coat hands with vegetable oil and knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball with hands, roll into an oval about 3/8" thick and stretch ends to form a teardrop shape (wide at base and tapering to a point on top). Place on baking sheets and brush with garlic oil. Bake on middle rack for 6 to 8 minutes.

HINT:     After baking, place under broiler to brown.
