Naan Bread

Ingredients:
leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry
sugars, granulated
water, bottled, generic
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
salt, table
oil, olive, salad or cooking

Directions:
In a glass-measuring cup, combine the yeast and sugar.
Add the water and stir well.
Let rest until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Sift together the flour and salt into a large bowl.
Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the yeast mixture and oil into the center.
Mix together with your fingers until a smooth dough forms, working in a small amount of additional flour as needed.
Knead for 3 minutes.
Oil a small bowl with the remaining butter or oil.
Place the dough into the bowl, turning to coat, and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces and gently roll into 6 circles on a lightly floured surface.
Bake on a baking stone, or a lightly greased baking sheet, until just golden brown and puffed, about 12 minutes.
Serve immediately.
