AND ALSO TIPS TO MAKE WITHOUT BREAD MACHINE

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups whole wheat flour/atta
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp melted ghee or oil
• 2 tbsp curd/yogurt
• 1 tsp dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar

how to make the recipe:

1. mix warm water, sugar and yeast in a small bowl.
2. cover and keep in a warm place for 10 minutes or so till the mixture rises.
3. I used bread machine and hence added the above mixture to bread maker and remaining ingredients except sesame seeds and butter. 
4. Keep on dough setting and prepare the dough. My bread machine took 1.5 hours to do this. 
5. ((Alternatiely if you dont have bread  machine at home sift flour and salt together.
6. add curd, ghee and yeast mixture.
7. mix and then knead into a smooth and elastic dough.
8. apply oil or ghee to all the sides of the dough
9. keep the dough in a large bowl covered with a lid in a warm place for 1.5 or 2 hours or more till the dough rises and doubles in size.
10. punch the dough and then knead for 5 minutes.))

1. divide into medium sized balls and keep aside.
2. roll each ball into a 6-7 inch circles and pull from one side to give oblong shape.
3. sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
4. roll over the rolling pin so that the seeds get embedded in the naan.

1. bake the whole wheat naan on a greased tray in a preheated oven for 360 F for 3-4 minutes or more till you see golden spots on the naan.
2. remove and apply some ghee or butter on top of the naan.
3. serve the whole wheat naan hot with any  curry dish. I served with Aloo palak .
