150 g Potatoes (about 3 medium)

Drain and mash until pureed.

Combine yeast and sugar in small bowl with 1/3rd cup of water. Set aside for 10 minutes or until frothy.

Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Use a Wooden spoon to gradually stir in yeast mixture, mashed potatoes and oil. And enough of the remaining water to make a fairly soft dough (it will b sticky but should b soft.. u can dip ur hands in flour n can handle it)

Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand until very smooth n elastic, about 10 minutes, or beat with a dough hook until smooth and elastic, 5 minutes. (I used machine)
Shape into a ball and place in an oiled bowl.

Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour or until doubled bulk.

Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for another 3 minutes. Divide the dough into medium to large equal size balls. Cover and let them rest for another 50 mints. Give naan Shape wid help of rolling pin. Make dent wid finger tips... Brush with yogurt and sesame seed mixture.

Butter Naan ♥♥

Ingredients:
2 cups Plain flour
1/2 cup of warm milk
1/2 cup of yogurt
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp oil

Mix all the dry ingredients together and make a well of flour.
Now mix milk and yogurt together and pour half of it into the well and slowly combine it together.
I don't think there's an exact amount of liquid that should be added to the exact amount of flour to make a perfect dough.
So what I do is add liquid slowly and combine it all together slowly until a soft dough is made.
The dough should be soft enough for you to be able to dig your finger into it without applying any pressure.
If dough sticks to hand too much then use little bit of oil on hand and then punch into the dough.
Cover with damp cloth and let it sit in a warm place for at least 2 hours

Turn your dough onto a floured surface and knead it for another minute,
then cut it into 8 equal pieces. Roll them to the size that you want but not very thin though.
Preheat your oven to 230C or higher heat of oven . If you are using a cookie sheet with a drop of oil on it.
Bake for 3-5 minutes and enjoy
