Vegetable Naan Breads - Extra Veg April Linky

We do love a good Fakeaway in our house as normal takeaways are too expensive.  I made these delicious Vegetable Naan Breads as an experiment to accompany a weekend lunch, they went down very well indeed.  Very easy to make, my girls have since made a couple of batches by themselves, and great with a stew, curry or even soup.

Vegetable Naan Breads

500g strong white bread flour

7g sachet instant yeast

3 Tblsp oil

250ml lukewarm water

1 small courgette, grated

1 small carrot, grated

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until a dough forms, add a little extra flour if necessary.  Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, either in a mixer or by hand.  Put the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave until doubled in size, this took approximately an hour.

Preheat your oven to 200C/180C Fan/400F/Gas Mark 6.  Line two or three oven trays with non stick baking paper.  Knock back the dough and divide into 8 or 10 pieces and roll each piece out to about 20cm/8 inches long.  Put on the prepared oven trays and leave to prove uncovered for around 15 - 20 minutes until risen.  

Bake for 15 minutes then remove from oven and transfer from oven trays to wire rack to cool.  I brushed ours with garlic butter when they were just out of the oven, it gave the naan a lovely flavour and kept them soft.  

I am hosting the Extra Veg linky this month, the blog challenge devised by Helen and I to encourage us all to eat more portions of vegetables.
