Naan (aka pizza crust)

We are just in love with Naan.  It makes for super quick pesto pizzas (if you keep a supply of Naan in the freezer) and is so delicious fresh with hummus and kalamatas.  LOVE it.

Naan
(makes 5-6, doubles easy)

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (this is the flour ratio that works for us)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cumin (leave it out if you have picky eaters)
pinch salt

3 tablespoons plain yogurt (greek is fine)
2 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup water

3 tablespoons olive oil
More oil for counter

Butter, for frying

Mix dry ingredients in large bowl.  Make a well in center and add wet ingredients.  Mix.  Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.  Add olive oil and knead a few times.  Divide into 5 or 6 pieces, about 2 oz each.  Flatten a bit, then roll thin.  I prefer to roll right on the counter using oil NOT flour.  Cook in cast iron skillet with a little butter.  Flipping halfway.
