Donal's Nan Bread

Regular forkncork forum contributor DonalH who runs the excellent E Kirby 66 in Kinsale has acceeded to my request to include his nan bread recipe in these pages. I’ve  tested it and it works a treat. In his own words – “I spent hours making the curry but the Naan bread took all the plaudits. Simple to add other flavours too – garlic, coriander, cumin, chilli whatever.”

1 tsp salt
sachet yeast
4 tbsp Greek Yoghurt – at room temperature
1 tbsp Olive Oil
125ml warm milk
3 tbsp melted butter – for brushing
