Home Matters 1st

It is Tuesday and that means Tuesdays with Dorie.  The recipe for today is Oasis Naan.  The recipe comes from the book "Baking with Julia."

I actually made the recipe last week.  My daughter, The Baby, was home from college and we decided it would be a fun adventure!  We both love baking, but our skills are somewhat limited.  So with great anticipation, we began the adventure!

We used our Kitchen Aid to mix the dough.  Although I love kneading, we decided it was the best option for the recipe.  We had a house full of company and didn't want to spend too much time in the kitchen,

The beginning of the rising process

When the dough doubled, we rolled the naan out, got our forks in hand and pricked them all over.  The Baby and I had fun with this part, we decided to have a race to see who could prick the dough the fastest!  As you can tell, we are not the most serious bakers!

In the oven the bread went.  I am so glad to have a gas oven.  It heated up to 500 degrees perfectly.  Our biggest challenge was getting the bread off the board and on the stone.  One or two of them folded over.  By the last batch, we had the technique down.

We opted for sesame seeds as a topping.  We are not big fans of cumin and had run out of scallions.  I think the final product came out pretty good looking!

We ate the naan with Beef Shish Ka Bobs and grilled vegetables that evening.  The naan was a hit! 

I look forward to making the next recipe, French Strawberry Cake.  Sadly, my daughter is off working for the summer and I will make the cake on my own.  I am glad we had this experience together and I know we will have more. 

Thanks for stopping by!
