I pulled this recipe off the internet, and edited it a bit...goes perfect with middle eastern fare, for the full desert camp experience.
'Campfire Grilled' Naan (Indian style flat bread)
Makes 8
Ingredients for basic naan dough
About 5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp plain yogurt (we used goat, but I like Greek)
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tbsp unsalted butter melted, plus 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter melted for other uses. Can sub peanut or canola oil.
2 tbsp peanut or canola oil
Directions
AT HOME:
-Make the basic naan dough. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
-Put the sugar and yogurt into a larger mixing bowl. Beat w/ an electric whisk (easier) or a wooden spoon. Add the milk and 1 cup water. Keep beating. Now beat in a little at a time, about 2 cups or a little more of the flour mixture. Beat very well to encourage the gluten to go to work. (100 strokes if you are using a wooden spoon).
-The batter should look pasty. Add the egg and the 1 tbsp melted butter and keep beating. Now slowly add another 2 cups of the flour mixture and keep beating.By the end of this, the whisk will hardly move and you will have a very elastic dough batter. Remove whisk.
-Use a wooden spoon to add enough flour (about 1 cup) to make a soft, sticky dough. Empty the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly with oiled hands.
-Keep dough mixture in ziploc bag in cooler for up to 48 hours.
AT CAMP:
-Divide the slightly sticky dough into 8 balls, flatten each and set aside.
-Stretch each piece of dough to a tear drop shape, thinly but not too thin as to break or make brittle (I'd say 1/4" to 1/2" thick is fine). On a hot grill, or a grill surface on a campfire place each dough direct on the grill rack making sure not to put in the way of any flames--which will char the bread.
-Grill each side for about 7 minutes and flip till cooked through and raised!
-Dust w/ garlic, parsley & additional butter after you pull the bread off the grill or whatever you like for a little extra flavor!
