Ingredients-1tsp fresh
yeast ,1 tsp sugar,100mlluke warm water,200g
refined flour ,1 tsp salt,1/2tsp baking powder ,2tbsp natural yoghurt,2 tbsp
melted ghee or butter, plus extra to brush,A little vegetable oil, to grease.1
tsp nigella (black onion), sesame or poppy seeds (optional)stuffing of your
choice (I made with boiled potatoes and cheese)boiled whole moong for eyes,corn
kernels for teeth.
Method to make Nan dough -Put the yeast, sugar and two
tablespoons of warm water in a bowl and stir well. Leave until it begins to
froth. Put the flour
and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Stir the yoghurt into
the yeast mixture, then make a well in the middle of the flour and pour it in,
plus the melted ghee. Mix, then gradually stir in the water to make a soft,
sticky mixture that is just firm enough to call a dough, but not at all dry.
Tip out on a lightly floured surface and knead for about five minutes until
smooth and a little less sticky, then put in a large, lightly oiled bowl and
turn to coat. Cover and leave in a dry place until doubled in size. Tip the
dough back out on to the lightly floured surface and knock the air out. divide
into small balls .Flatten one of the balls and or roll it into a flat circle,
slightly thicker around the edge. use a round cookie cutter and cut smiles sized rounds from half of the dough.Spread
prepared stuffing in the centre of each round. Roll out the remaining dough and
cut with smile cutter of same sized round in equal numbers. Keep smilies cutter
rounds over stuffing and seal the edges with fork, thus give shapes of smilies to
stuffed nans.keep boiled whole moong in space of eyes and corn kernels for
teeth.Grease the tray and arrange smilies on tray.Bake in pre-heated oven on
180 drgree c for 7-10 minutes or till brown.
