NAAN
====

Ingredients:
------------
4 cups       all purpose flour
1 tsp        baking powder
1/2 tsp      baking powder
salt to taste
1            egg, beaten
6 Tblsp      plain yogurt
3 Tblsp      butter or ghee, melted
About 1 Cup  milk
1 Tblsp      poppy seeds

Instructions:
-------------
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl.

Stir in egg, yogurt and 2 tablespoons of the butter.  Gradually stir in
enough milk to make a soft dough.  Cover with a damp cloth and place in
a warm place for 2 hours. 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 C) (Note: I use even higher temp 500F
and place a pizza stone in my oven)

Knead dough on a floured surface for 2 or 3 minutes until smooth. 

Divide into 8 pieces Roll each piece into a ball then into ovals about 6
inches long. 

If you must use a baking sheet, grease it and brush the underside of the
bread with water.  Brush the other side with butter and sprinkle with
poppy seeds

Bake 6 to 10 minutes until puffy and golden brown.  (This is where the
stone makes a difference)
