Naan Bread


2 Cups Flour (I used 1 cup white and 1 cup bread)
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Sugar
4 tbsp Butter - Cold and cut into pieces
1/2 Cup Milk
Water - If needed.  I needed about 4 tbsp.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar.  Add the butter and using a fork or a pastry cutter mix together.  Gradually add in the milk and combine.  If needed, add in a little water at a time till you get a consistency that holds together but it's too wet.

Lightly oil your counter and knead dough for about 10 minutes.  Set aside covered with a damp towel for 30 minutes.

Cut dough into 4 even pieces.  Roll dough out and keep folding it over itself.  Dough should be sort of thin.  Mine was a little thinner than 1/4 inch and the shape is up to you.  Mine ended up being sort of rectangle.

In a pan over medium / high heat add about 2 tbsp EVOO and place the rolled out dough.  It cooks fast, maybe 1-2 minutes on each side.  It will bubble up and blister.  It burns FAST so keep an eye on it.

I used mine as a flat bread pizza base but you can eat as is or put herbs in the dough.  Enjoy. #Cheftainment

Tortilla Crust Pizza

In the mood for pizza but don't want to wait for take out and don't want the frozen pizza option?

I always have various sizes of flour and whole wheat tortillas in my fridge.  They are prefect to mix various leftovers together and wrap them up as a burrito or make a quesadilla.  But what if you're in the mood for pizza?

It's the ultimate thin crust.  Top with whatever ingredients you like, cheese, mushrooms, peppers, chicken, whatever.  Place on a cookie sheet or pizza rack, place in a 400 degree oven for 11-15 minutes and viola, the ultimate (healthier) thin crust pizza that you're craving in minutes.
