Recipe(tried): Cilantro & garlic naan (breadmachine dough cycle)

I didn't have any naan in the freezer to go with a curry I made the other night, so I tried this recipe.

It is the new standard for naan around here; I will not be buying any naan again anytime soon. It made 12 pieces, so I froze half of the baked breadlets for next time.

GARLIC AND CILANTRO NAAN
ABM recipe, makes 12 pieces

1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup yogurt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garam masala (or any other seasoning you might like to use)
4 cups flour (I used 2 white, 2 whole wheat)
4 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
6 cloves of garlic, sliced
root end of a bunch of cilantro, washed and chopped finely

Directions:

1. Add ingredients to the bread pan according to the manufacturer's directions.
2. Set Cycle: dough; Loaf size: 2 lb.
3. At beep, or about 10 minutes before the end of the need cycle, add the garlic and cilantro.
4. Preheat oven to 450F, put 2 baking sheets in to heat for 10 minutes (this will help the naan to puff up and brown).
5. When dough cycle is done, turn dough onto a floured surface and punch down; Divide into 12 pieces.
6. Working one at a time, with the other pieces covered, roll dough out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
7. Bake for about 4-6 minutes, until puffed up.

These freeze very well. You can brown them under the broiler if you want, I prefer mine more on the pliable side, so altho I used 2 cookie sheets, and had 3 on each (loaded up the oven twice), next time I will try my insulated sheets so they don't brown, even on the bottom.

The dough was very easy to work with. Even if you have never tried a shaped bread before, give it a whirl. They really were easy and awesome.

Cheers!
