4-6
ingredients
- 2 lbs lamb chops (or beef chuck)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons dry active yeast
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 3⁄4 cup warm water
- 3 1⁄2 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1⁄2 cup plain yogurt
directions
- For the kebabs: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Prepare grill to high heat. Cut the meat into 1 inch cubes and place in a bowl.
- Add the next 5 items and massage into the meat. Place the lamb/beef cubes onto the skewers.
- Grill the skewers 3 minutes per side--turning once.
- For the Naan: Attach the bread hook to your electric mixer. Add the yeast, sugar, and warm water to the mixing bowl and allow it to foam for 5 minutes.
- Add the salt, butter and yogurt. Then slowly add the flour to the mixture. Allow the mixer to “knead” your dough for 5 minutes.
- Oil the mixing bowl, then cover and let the dough rise until doubled in size—1-2 hours.
- Preheat the oven AND two oiled pans to 450 degrees F. Baking stones work best! Dump the dough onto a floured surface. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough into large ovals—about the length and size of a large shoe!
- Place the ovals on parchment paper to rest. Once all the dough in ready, brush the tops with oil or melted butter and place on the HOT baking sheets.
- Bake for 3-4 per side—flipping once. Serve warm, brushed with melted butter!
- *You could add chopped garlic or a variety of seeds to the naan dough for variation!
