Naans, dehydrator vegetable chips


Naans

(makes six)

2 cups flour
1 tsp dried yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
pinch baking soda
2 tbsp oil (used veg)
2 tbsp fake milk
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
3/4 cup warm water

Mix warm water, sugar and yeast and leave somewhere warm for 10min.  Sift flour, salt and soda.  Add oil and milk/lemon juice mix and combine.  Then add yeast mix and combine to a dough.  Knead 5 min then cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place for at least an hour, until doubled in size.  Knock down and knead for 5 min then separate into 6 pieces and roll out to about 5mm thick.  Heat oven to 500F and put a baking tray in to heat up.  Switch oven to 'broil' (=grill, I think) and then put naans in.  Do 2 min on each side.  They didn't puff up much - perhaps better to do 4 min on 1 side.  Can add garlic, veg butter, kalonji seeds to taste.  Eat straight after cooking - had them with baba.

Veg chips update:

Sliced peeled sweet potato and beet thinly with a peeler.  Steamed for 2min then tossed in a little oil and salt.  Put in dehydrator at 57C.  They didn't crisp up for a while: did about 6h at 57C then left overnight at 43C.  Did notice that they crisped up as they cooled.  These were pretty good, actually.
