2 tsp yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup sugar
3 Tbsp milk
1 egg lightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
Dissolve yeast in water. Let sit for several minutes. Combine all ingredients together with a wooden spoon until well-mixed into dough. Let dough rise until double in size. Break into golfball-size balls and place them on a greased cookie sheet to rest for 30 minutes. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. When done, heat a non-stick pan to medium heat and rub it with some olive oil. Roll each ball until quite thin (I just used my hands to flatten them, using a rolling pin took too much flour for my taste). Cook a few minutes on each side until lightly browned. Makes about 12-15.

Naan is usually served with Indian food (chicken saag on top is divine!), but these are SO good that I can just eat them plain or with butter/honey. I ate 3 of them just while I was cooking them! I plan on using them tomorrow for lunch when I make a middle eastern greens soup. I'm not sure if there will be any left though! My kids are gobbling these up like crazy too!

My dad and I have been looking for this forever!!
I can totally eat homemade tortillas with just butter & honey so I'll have to give this a try! Have you tried out that White While Wheat Flour from Eagle Mills? It's supposed to behave more like all-purpose flour, but I don't bake enough to make a comparison like that.
I haven't tried that...I actually have a wheat grinder, so I make my flour fresh. Usually using 100% whole wheat flour to replace white flour in a recipe isn't the best idea, as far as texture and flavor. But for this recipe,it works BEAUTIFULLY! SO yummy, I can't wait to hear how you like it!
