Homestead Recipes

I have been cooking over 50 years. I cook from scratch every day, so I am always looking for new recipes to try.

Naan

2 cups (227g) King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour

1 ½ cups (180g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

2 teaspoons instant yeast

1 ¼ teaspoons (8g) salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons (28g) butter or ghee (clarified butter), melted

½ cup (113g) milk or whey (from the drained yogurt, below)

¾ cup (170g) plain yogurt, whole milk preferred

1 large egg

garlic oil or olive oil, for brushing on cooked naan

Cucumber raita

about 1 ½ cups (about 170g) finely diced or grated, peeled, seeded cucumbers (about 2 medium-small cucumbers, or 1 medium-large)

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups whole-milk yogurt, drained in a yogurt cheese maker or cheesecloth for several hours

1 to 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

½ teaspoon cumin

2 tablespoons minced fresh mint or cilantro, plus extra for garnish

2 to 3 teaspoons minced hot chilies or chili paste, or ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, all optional

note: Want to skip the draining? Use 1 cup thick, Greek-style yogurt; no need to drain.
