Indian Nan Bread

Unknown

I've been told by an Egg retailer here in Australia that Eggs are great for cooking nan bread [slapping the flattened dough to the ceramic side, as one would do in a tandoor]. Has anyone out there had any experience of this? Does the dough stick properly to the ceramic side while being cooked?

Tim Davies,
the virginian and i tried it last summer. ... it was a lot of fun. .. you have to have your egg cranking along right at 700 degrees+, you open the dome and slap it on the underside of the dome and then gently close the dome. ..it does stick just fine if you do it right (actually our challenge was peeling it off the dome. .. the flavor was fantastic. ...you do need to wear long sleeves and a good glove though. .. i was wearing a t-shirt and no glove, just a small towel wrapped around a couple of pot holders to stick the nan on the dome, and i lost all my arm hair and probably a couple of layers of 'dermis' in the process. .. .

Tim Davies,
NatureBoy has a lot of experience as I recall. A few years ago Nan was quite the rage around here. A couple of the old timers, since moved on, started it and everyone but me tried it. Not a fan of breads. Shout to him, I'm sure he'll help.

Tim Davies,[p]I bake several different recipes of Naan bread but I do them on a hearth stone. Since my cooker is used for many other types of baking, cooking, and smoking, the inside stays way too dirty to slap something on the side of it for baking. [p][p]The above picture shows a loaf of one of my recipes for this wonderful treat on a hearth. When I do this bread, I usually do about ten loaves at a time. [p][p]This picture shows a few of the loaves off the cooker and cooling on the counter. As I think you can see, I use several toppings on this bread. [p]Since you are from Australia, I will include a couple of more pictures of a bread that you probably make all the time. This is my version of Damper bread. This bread is also done on a hearth.[p][p]I have several different recipes for this bread and usually do several loaves at a time as we like it very well.[p][p]
This picture shows a couple of loaves cooling on the counter. I used two different recipes for this bake. [p]The Egg is a great cooker for any type of baking and will do most very well. [p]Dave[p]
