Ingredients
- 3 c. All-purpose flour
- 1/2 Tbsp. Baking yeast
- 2 tsp Baking pwdr
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Vegetable oil
- 2 x Garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. Lemon juice
- 3/4 c. Hot water
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients & mix well. Add in the garlic cloves, oil, lemon juice & sufficient water to create a dough. Knead the dough for several min till it is very soft & pliable. Return to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth & let rise for 2 hrs or possibly till doubled in volume.
- Turn out dough & punch down. Divide into 8 equal balls. Roll each ball into a tear shape & quite thinly. You should get a flat bread of about 6" to 8" in length & 3" wide. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Cover with a damp cloth & let rest for 15 min or possibly so.
- While the bread is resting, heat the oven to 500F. It is necessary to get the oven really warm. Set the shelves in the middle of the oven. Bake each cookie sheet of bread for 5 min. Pull out, flip over & return to the oven for another 3 min. If you want the bread a little browner, then leave for another 2 min, but watch them as they will dry out rapidly once they have cooked.
- Cold on wire racks, brushing with oil & sprinkling with poppy seeds if you like.
- NOTE: These nans freeze very well. When using from frzn, I have best results if I thaw them on wire racks. Preheat an oven to 350F. Turn oven off & then pop in the breads till warmed through: they will only need about 2 min to heat through.
- They can be reheated very well on a grill come barbeque time as well.
