You could do it through his YouTube channel H4ppyleader

[Peripatetic Phil]

Possibly via YouTube or Ebay, Bob.  His name is Chris Johnson, he lives in Burnley, and he uses aliases such as "H4ppy leader" as well as "H4ppy Chris".  He is also a forum administrator at UK Sea Fishing.

Mick - as I understand it, you brush the top side of naan with oil before cooking and with oil/ghee (I just use melted butter) after cooking

Actually no Garp. I think if you watch the video you will see that Chris brushes oil and ghee onto the rolled out naan before draping it over the cushion. I was skeptical about doing this the first time. I always wondered why my previous attempts at making naans was always disappointing. They were too dry. I would drown them with butter after cooking but would still break up when folded.

Try it and you will see 

It was a major "Eurika Moment" for me

Sorry Mick, but it's plain vegetable oil onto the rolled out naan before cooking. He actually uses a mixture of butter and vegetable ghee to brush the naan with after cooking (well he doesn't but suggests it).

However, yours look brilliant, Mick, so why change it

[mickdabass]

You're right Garp

Sorry mate  :

[Garp]

No problem mate.

Like I said though, yours are brilliant looking

How long would these take to make from start including the prep?

[mickdabass]

Hi Gazman
I started at about 10:30 am and finished cooking the last one at 8 pm, so thats 9 hours. I was of course doing other stuff as well; but I didnt put the dough in the fridge as I was using it the same day as I think Chris explains in the video... (at least thats how I interpreted it  ;D)
Hope that helps

Regards

Mick
