homemade Naan and hummus

cilantrohum naan1 kaisnaan kailoveshisnaan this morning, i made another batch of hummus. this time i made it with garbonzos like most hummus is made with, and added lemon juice and cilantro. really good, but i have to say, i still love my black bean hummus best! anyways, i had no naan bread to dip into it, so i made my own. i put two found recipes together and came up with some decent naan bread. Although...not authentic. I have realized that authentic naan has yeast, and plain yogurt in it. so I will be trying this recipe below.. Ps, I let kai have a little dough to play with. i let him roll it out, and i cooked it up. He couldnt stop eating the bread, which means it was good ( just not authentic). cant wait to find a great recipe! heres one i think will be good:found here Ingredients: (makes 8 Naan) 4 cups all purpose flour 1.5 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon sugar 2.5 teaspoons active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water 5 tablespoons oil or ghee 1/8 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup or 10-12 heapful tablespoons of plain unflavored yogurt few more tablespoons of water if needed ghee or melted butter to brush on the naan spices (like nigella, cumin, sesame) or herbs, dried or fresh (optional) -M
