Sweet levain naan bread
Well with a couple of fresh levains to bake with and feed, I thought I would try and use some of the natural starter discard in a traditional naan recipe. I LOVED the results!!! The recipe is super easy and with a little baking powder, you can enjoy the results fairly fast.
Formula:
1/2 cup whole milk, scalded and cooled to 90F
1 tsp sugar
30g sweet levain, 100% hydration
285g AP flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbs canola oil
31/2 Tbs full fat plain Greek yogurt
25g beaten egg
Mix well, then knead for 6 or 7 minutes and place in a covered, greased bowl to rise for about an hour. When doubled,m punch down and divide into 6 pieces forming tight balls.
Warm a griddle over medium heat. Lightly flour the balls and roll out into 7-8 inch diameter rounds. Cook on the griddle 3 minutes per side. When cooked, brush with melted butter.
You can easily double this recipe.
this is the perfect side to a nice hot Indian curry and rice!
Enjoy and happy baking! Ski
