Naan

25 January 2010 5 Comments

The Bread Baking Babes presented us with the first challenge of 2010: Naan.
This month Lynn of Cookie Baker Lynn was Kitchen Hostess of the Month and came up with the recipe for this gorgeous bread.

Since we were planning the family birthday come together for Mrs Q.’s and Mr T.’s Birthday this Saturday we came up with the idea to use the naan as starters for the family lunch.

We made plain Naan and topped them with smoked salmon and prosciutto and Grana Padano. They were a big hit.

I planned to make them quite small since they were supposed to be served a starters but then they puffed too much and turned out bigger as expected ;)
No big deal tho, we cut them in quarters and they were simply delicious!!

The dough was wonderful to work with and quite easy and quick too.
Loved the texture of the bread too.

Unfortunately I have no pics of the finished Naan since I was in the kitchen finishing the last batch while the others already were nibbling on the first batch of starters.
I believe that one of the others made a pic and as soon as I get hold of it I will show it to you here.

Holy Batman Robin … oh I mean Astrid, this is absolutely fabulous as an appetizer. I’m going to have to do these again immediately! Can’t understand why I didn’t think to do them this way.
Then you went and made them multicultural … totally stunning and must have been a taste delight. Too funny that you got no pics of the final presentation :-)

Oh, the idea with the smoked salmon on top is divine. This time I made the curried version, but I’ll try the plain one, too, and then make your salmon version. We totally loved the curried naan, though. My oldest daugther (6) was crying when it was all gone…
