How to make Garlic Naan:

- Sieve the flour. Place the flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, add the oil and salt, and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix with your hands to form a dough, adding more water, if necessary. Turn out onto a lightly floured counter and knead the doug by hand for at least 5 minutes, preferably longer, as this process will make the dough slighty elastick and the bread with have a softer texture.
- Return the dough to the bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1h, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the broiler to high, and grease a sheet of foil.
- Turn a dough out onto a floured counter add chopped garlic and knead for 2 min. 1.Break off small balls with your hands and pat them into circles 4½ inches/12 cm in diameter and ½ inch/1 cm thick.
- Place the dough circles onto the grassed foil and cook under the very hot broiler for 7-10 minutes, turning twice, brushing with the butter.
- Serve warm or keep wrapped in foil until required.
