Oh honey, you thought I was done? You thought I was done?
THINK AGAIN
so i decided to make naan, or try to - the bread experiment of the other day has confirmed that my yeast is basically dead, so all these suckers are gonna turn out not-right, but i decided that test runs are test runs for a reason so
i wrapped the boy and
slapped together a baller marinade - there's chicken hiding under there, if you can see
2 hours later
1.25 hours later, i make-a the curry i appropriate-a the culture hooaoaoaoaaaa - the red is my chicken bowl from earlier + some tomatoes and potatoes, the white is one with chickpeas and coconut milk for my (vegetarian) mum
the naan turned out dorky in shape and texture - the lack of living yeast made them more like slabs than bubbly-stretchy boys and i think i'm consistently making my doughs not wet enough, but brushed with butter and dipped in THIS
i felt pretty good about myself
Naan seems like a hard one. Never tried it myself. I've always been under the impression that if you don't have the crazy heat of a tandoori oven, you're gonna get a wonky imitation of naan. I went out to get flour and there was none. TP-hoarding flour-miser bastards got it.
Dala and I are huge bread heads. We wanna try to make both naan and lefse, but we don't have the right tools for either. Which is fine. I'm pretty partial to soda breads actually, and they're easy as heck to make. The hoarders got everything out here. I'm lucky to have gotten canned beans (which I also love).
How did you cook the naan? It looks like it has grill marks? Also, anyone know the difference between naan and pita other than where it comes from?
it's got grill marks because i cooked it on a grill
