A slight change that might help
« on: April 21, 2009, 10:04 PM »
A slight change that is when i made the naan doh i use a tinned milk called neo neo and which i now no to be evaporated milk instead of normal milk.
   Don't no if it helps but they allways came out good except the ones i dropped onto the charcoal which will have been burnt to a crisp ;D

this sounds real interesting for me. if i'm making a posh naan i use yogurt which does make a difference. i also add caster sugar.

for my usual weekday naan i only use what i have: SR flour, salt, milk, water (and often a generous dollop of garlic powder). the 1hr standing time when mixed is crucial i feel.

i use evap milk a lot and always have in stock. i can imagine it adding back what's lost through stripping back the recipe.

many thanks - it's not something i would thought of

I used it in all the naan mixes with lots of yogurt and sugar it seems the more the better to a degree.The mix you call posh ;D.

i gave the carnation ago in my weekday naan.

1st go i used 1/2 milk 1/2 carnation (SR flour 450g, salt 1/2 tsp, carnation 50ml, milk 50ml, water 200 ml).

i did not feel it made a significant difference.

on 2nd go i used carnation instead of milk ie 100ml. it worked well and turned the naan into my posh version (when i use yogurt instead of the milk).

my conclusion is u can replace yogurt with carnation and achieve an equivalent result.

only point of caution is that carnation (and yogurt) does not have the same amount of free water as milk and i needed to add more water (60ml) to get the dough back to "UB's sticky" texture which i've adopted along with the "pat a cake" trick.

many thanks Andy. for me yog's hardly ever in the fridge where as there's always a tin of carnation so luck's going to be in from now on.

best wishes
