Naan is a popular bread, a specialty of people living in Northern India.
Traditionally baked in very hot earthen ovens, it is relatively simple to
cook under the broiler.

Mix yeast, sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Set aside. In a bowl mix flour, Cream
of Wheat, oil, and yogurt. Add yeast mixture, a little at a time, adding
more water as needed to make a dough similar to pizza dough. Cover and let
sit in a cool oven for three to four hours. Knead on a floured surface and
form into 12 equal sized balls.

COOKING THE NAAN: Cover top rack of oven with aluminum foil and preheat to
550 degrees. Roll dough balls into circles, 6 inches in diameter, on a
floured board. Place as many as will fit on the top rack of the oven and
broil on one side for about one minute, until puffed up and golden in
color. Turn over and cook for another minute until golden. Keep the door
ajar while broiling so that the heating coils remain red all the time. The
naan will not puff if the oven is too cool.

Remove from oven and butter (margarine) the side cooked first. Stack and
wrap in aluminum foil to keep warm and moist. Naan is usually a must with
“Tanduri Chicken”, also cooked in India in earthen ovens.
