KEY INGREDIENTS

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ cups Nestlé® Carnation® Evaporated Lowfat 2% Milk, divided
  • ½ teaspoon dry active yeast
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, sea salt
  • Any flavor Tribe® Hummus for serving (or any other hummus recipe found on this site)

MAKE IT

Step 1

Heat ½ cup evaporated milk in microwave or on stovetop to 100-110° F.

Step 2

Combine flour and salt in large mixer bowl. Add yeast mixture and remaining 1 cup evaporated milk. Mix together on low speed using a dough hook for about 5 minutes or until a soft, smooth dough is formed. (Or knead by hand for 10 minutes.)

Step 3

Divide dough into 12 pieces. Lightly flour work surface and rolling pin; roll out each piece into 7- to 8-inch ovals.

Step 4

Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot. Brush one side of one dough oval with melted ghee; sprinkle with any optional seasonings. Stretch dough out a little and place oiled-side-down on hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes or until large bubbles form on top. Flip with a spatula; cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until toasted spots appear on bottom and naan puffs up a bit. Place on large plate. Repeat with remaining dough, ghee and seasonings. Serve with hummus.
