GLUTEN FREE NAAN BREAD

We love Naan Bread especially in the summer. I like to make it on the grill. It is a quick and easy. I have not made it since I have been gluten free though. So tonight I decided to give gluten free a try.

I just have to say I love sorghum flour. I use it for almost everything. We get it directly from the mill.

NAAN BREAD

1 cup Sorghum Flour
1 teaspoon yeast ****
1 teaspoon honey or sugar
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon xantham gum
1/4 cup olive oil

Add ins: We like garlic the best but any herb or spice would be good like rosemary.

In a small bowl add yeast, sugar and warm water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. It will get all foamy. Combine flour, salt, xantham gum. Add olive oil and yeast mixture. Stir. It will be pretty sticky. Let rest for 15 minutes. Divide into 6 big pieces or 12 small pieces. Roll out on a flour surface. I need a little of the flour in so it is not sticky to handle. Place on grill for 2 or 3 minutes per side.

**** 1 teaspoon of yeast are you freaking out? A package has 2 1/4 teaspoons in it but why oh why are you buy individual packages. It is much cheaper to buy a jar of yeast or better yet a bag. You should store it in the fridge.
