Ingredients

1 .25 ounce package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg beaten
2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 cup butter melted

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve the 1 .25 ounce package active dry yeast and 1/4 cup white sugar in 1 cup warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy.
Stir in 3 tablespoons milk, 1 egg, and 2 teaspoons salt. Gradually add 3 1/2 cups bread flour to make a soft dough (you may not use all the flour). Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth.
Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Punch down dough. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a lightly greased tray or baking sheet. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30-60 minutes.
During the second rising, preheat a a lightly oiled outdoor grill, or indoor grill or skillet to high heat. Mix together 1/4 cup butter. melted and 1 teaspoon garlic salt in a small bowl.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball of dough out into a thin circle. Place dough rounds on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. While bread is cooking, brush uncooked side with butter. Turn over and brush cooked side with butter.
Continue cooking until browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all of the naan has been prepared.
