Hi there Just wondering if someone wouldn't mind posting The Destitute Gourmet (Sophie Gray) recipe called No nonsense naan bread recipe please! Have mislaid my copy of it. Think it is from her" More Stunning Food from Small Change" Book. Sadly my local library no longer has the book and google was of no help. Thanks

Destitute Gournet Sophie Gray’s NO-NONSENSE NAAN BREAD Serves 6.
1¾ cups plain flour 1 tsp each of baking powder and sugar ½ tsp salt ¼ cup melted butter or oil 1 egg water 85ml natural yoghurt garlic butter to brush on cumin or paprika to sprinkle for garnish
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the sugar and salt, and mix. Make a well in the centre, pour in the butter or oil, yoghurt, egg and enough water to form a soft dough. Mix, then knead gently on a floured bench for 2-4 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to double in size. Knead lightly, then divide into 8-10 pieces. Roll out to less than 1 cm thick. Brush with garlic butter or oil and sprinkle on spices such as cumin or paprika. Bake at 190°C until well risen and golden - around 12 minutes. :-))

Would these freeze well do you think once cooked then reheat them when needed like store bought ones?

So what makes it double in size since there is no yeast?

Will it double in size even without yeast?

Good point eljayv, I haven't made the Naan Bread however I have doubled checked the recipe and there is definitely no yeast in the recipe, only baking powder - the recipe is actually accompanied with this note "This dough is yeast free so is an excellent recipe for those on yeast-free diets". :-))

Maybe that instruction was included by mistake, but you never know. I would say just don't wait too long for it to double in size.
I would think the raising agents would be the yeasts in the yoghurt. ?

I leave scones to raise before baking. any raising agent and water kicks off the raising process

I don't think yoghurt contains any yeasts unless it has been contaminated with them.

roti is MUCH easier - plain flour and boiling water . mix to a dough consistency, knead it, cut into pieces, roll it out and dry fry it ;-)
