Lahori kulcha/roghni naan

Amazing soft and delicious naan

Try not to eat too much , if you can resist 🤪they are quite rich!

• All purpose flour 8 cups ,yesss .....8!!!😬

• Butter melted 3 tbsp

• Warm milk 3 cups

• Salt 1 tbsp

• Sugar 1 tbsp

• Yogurt 2 tbsp

• Powdered milk 6 tbsp

• Baking soda 1 tsp

• Instant yeast 1 pack or 21/4 tsp

• Sesame seeds 3 tbsp or more

• 1/4 cup melted butter for brushing the tops

• 1 egg yolk beaten with 1tsp water to brush on top/ optional

• 
  

• Make the dough by adding all except last three ingredients in either your mixer or hand knead ,add a bit more milk or warm water and/or flour as needed ,dough should be slightly sticky,and let rest covered in a warm place 3-4 hours or till doubles in size in an oiled bowl.

• Preheat an oven safe cast iron pan or tawa on stove and also turn your oven on at 400 F

• Make the dough in 6-8 equal size balls

• Then roll it out into flat round discs 5-7 inches using your hands (see highlights)edges should be thicker ,see story or highlights(roghni naan) on how I did it ,or just use a rolling pin and then press in the centre with a plate smaller than the naan so the centre is depressed and edges are thicker and a bit raised

• Using your finger tips or a fork poke into the centre of naan to make indentations or small holes(see highlights)

• Brush melted butter and sprinkle sesame seeds

• Brush egg yolk on edges and a bit on middle of naan , that gives a nicer colour

• Put on heated pan ,cook till the underneath surface is a bit golden

• Dont flip

• Now put that with the pan (or use another sheet or pizza pan)in the oven and cook till browned

• You can choose to cook it fully on the pan but with my several experiments I found this gives the best results for me

Enjoy!!! You can choose to make them a bit smaller ,I made six and each naan was a good size
