Today when I fired up the egg to cook my weekly pizzas, I planned to cook some naan to take advantage of the hot egg and the pizza stone. The recipe was a variant of the one in Wood-Fired Cooking by Mary Karlin. The yogurt dough is stuffed with a blend of cilantro mint and cashews. The book describes stuffing the naan, but a Youtube video helped me to pull it off without a problem the first time.

Here it is cooking on the egg; temperature about 550 deg (I prefer this to higher temperatures):

Here is the finished product:

and here is the inside (from one without a lot of stuffing):

    thanks. I became more efficient with a single load of charcoal in my BGE, but now I have another problem. It tasted pretty good, but I can't eat everything I cooked. I plan to give some to my neighbor.

    a leavened bread baked in a clay oven in India; usually shaped like a teardrop. It's the yogurt, Indian spices, and the clay oven that make it unique. I baked a fusion version with the pesto-style stuffing. I like an unstuffed naan with kalonji seeds added for flavor. The BGE mimics some of the characteristics of the tandoori clay ovens used in India to make these breads.

    it's a great book. The photography is excellent and she introduces lots of ideas, but not all of them are egg-able. I'm fine with that, though.
