Title: Grilled Cardamom Nan Bread
Categories: Breads
Yield: 8 servings

1 Envelope active dry yeast 3 1/2 c Bread flour
1 1/4 c Lukewarm water (110F-115F) 1 T Salt
1 T Honey 1 T Ground cardamom
1 T Olive oil + extra

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in the water and stir in the honey. Let
stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add the 1 T oil, the flour, salt and
cardamom and stir until the dough forms a cohesive mass.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth
and elastic, about 6 minutes. Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape
each piece into a ball. Set the balls on an oiled baking sheet and brush
with oil. Cover loosely with plastic and let rise in a warm place until
doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours. (Dough can be refrigerated overnight -
punch down balls before proceeding)

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough to an 8-inch
disk. Arrange them on 3 oiled baking sheets and let rest for 20 minutes.

Light a grill or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet. Brush each nan
lightly with olive oil and grill for about 1 minute, until golden on the
bottom and light bubbles form on the top. Turn and cook until golden all
over, about 1 minute. Keep warm while you cook the remaining nan.
