Basic Pakistani wheat bread. Very similar to naan (basic Indian bread). Very easy and goes nicely with curry.

Directions

  1. 1

    Stir in honey.

  5. 5
    Turn out on a floured board and knead until elastic and smooth.
  6. 6
    Let rise until doubled in bulk (30 minutes).
  7. 7
    Preheat oven to 500°F.
  8. 8
    Turn out on a floured board and knead briefly.
  9. 9
    Form into 12 balls.
  10. 10
    Roll each ball out to 1/4-inch thick, and let rise for 15 minutes.
  11. 11
    Turn over onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes (watch closely so they don't brown too much).

I do not know if mine look correct, but they sure did taste great! Just the right amount of salt, too. I ran out of whole wheat so used about 3/4 cup of all purpose white flour and seemed to be fine. This pulled together fast-timing is right on. Thanks littleturtle for sharing a wonderful bread. Made for All New Zaar Cookbook tag.
