Best Cilantro Garlic Bread Recipes

NAAN BREAD WITH GARLIC AND CORIANDER/CILANTRO

Steps:

• Make sure your breadmaker is clean and add the ingredients in the order the manufacturer suggests.
• Mix on the dough setting.
• When ready to cook the naan (just before serving), knead for another 50 strokes and then divide into naans (make them as big or as small as you like).
• Form balls of dough and then flatten into thin ovals (to make this easier, you can wet your hands and use your fingertips to spread the dough across the base of a frying pan).
• Use oil spray to stop them from sticking.
• Preheat a grill/broiler.
• Now put the frying pan on medium heat, letting the naan cook until the bottoms are golden-brown (they will move easily when you shake the pan gently).
• Stick the frying pan under the grill (don't let the plastic handle go under too far!), and let the naans cook until puffed up and golden.
• Serve immediately with hommous, beans, curry or just eat them by themselves.
• Alternatively, you can let them cool and then freeze them.
