INGREDIENTS (Enough to make 4 big Naan)
1 kg of all-purpose flour
2.5 tsp of salt
2 tbsp of sugar
2 whole egg
1 pack of instant yeast
120 g of vegetable oil
440 grams of milk
1/4 of red onion, finely diced
2-3 tbsp of oil to saute the onion
2 tbsp of sesame seeds
1.5 tbsp of milk to soak the sesame seeds
1 tsp of salt
1 cup of water
In a mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients: 1kg of all-purpose flour, 2.5 tsp of salt, 2 tbsp of sugar, 2 whole egg, 1 pack of instant yeast (7g), 120 grams of vegetable oil, and 440 grams of milk. Use your spatula to mix everything.

Knead it by hand (8-10 minutes) or a stand mixer (10-12 minutes) until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Cover it the dough with a lightly damp towel and let it proof at room temperature for 1 hour.

1 hour later, it should be doubled in volume. Make a fist and punch the dough for a minute to eliminate the air bubbles that are formed from the expanding carbon dioxide during the proofing. Continue to knead it for another 5 minutes or until most of the air pockets are gone. This can also be done with the Kitchenaid. You just let it run on low speed for about 5 minutes.

Divide the dough. You can eyeball how much dough you want to use as this depends on your tool's size and how big/thick you want your naan to be. I am just going to go with 4 huge ones.

Shape each dough into a smooth ball. Cover with a lightly damp towel, and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

Saute 1/4 cup of chop red onion with 2-3 tbsp of vegetable oil until fragrance.

Soak 2 tbsp of sesame seeds with 1.5 tbsp of milk for 10 minutes.

Dissolve 1 tsp of salt into 1 cup of water.

Put the pizza stone or cast-iron skillet into the oven and preheat the oven to 500 F.

Use a clean and lightly damp cloth to wrap a strainer tool.

15 minutes later, roll the dough with a rolling pin until the diameter reach about 10 inches. Form the edge to make it thicker. Use your knuckles to press the middle to make it thinner. At the same time, if you see that the edge is becoming a bit flat, you can always form it again.

Apply the sauteed onion or soaked sesames onto the naan. Use the tip of fingers to keep pressing the bread. It will help the onion bits or sesame seeds to attach to the bread.

Stamp the bread by using a Naan Zhen or a fork. Flip the naan on the cloth wrapped strainer. Onion side down. Wet your hand with the salt solution and apply it to the naan. This will ensure the naan sticks to the pizza stone and create a crusty bottom.

Quickly open the oven. Stick the naan in and carefully flip it on the pizza stone. Press the center a few times to make sure the bottom sticks to the pizza stone fully. Otherwise, the center will bulge quickly, and your bread will not come out crispy. Put in the other piece of naan.

Quickly spray some water and close the oven.

Each naan takes about 10-15 minutes depends on your oven. If this is first time you are making naan in your oven, be sure to keep an eye on them. In my case, I already know it will take about 12 minutes. Enjoy!
