@MajorRage honestly, I just use the breadmaker. From memory, after a few drinks:

yeast (as needed - on the base, a tsp or so). I don't measure, just shake it in

450g flour
300 ml of liquid. For Naan I use yoghurt, milk and some water. Heat it in the microwave to get it 'warm' -- not hot -- to support the yeast.

Add 1/2 t sugar, some salt and a squeeze of oil

Run on 'dough' setting, drop onto flour, carve into 8 pieces. Spread with fingers on a floured board, or stretch by hand if you feel brave.

Cook on direct high heat on bbq, and serve. Takes about 5 min to fully cook them (depending on thickness).

Edit: 1/2 t sugar, not 1.2t sugar

@nzzp That looks great. I'm going to give it a go, except there was no flour or yeast in the supermarket yesterday, FFS, and I am out of yeast and need more flour.

Even level 3 is a pain in the arse.

As overrated as Akira Ioane. Fat is fine.

[nzzp]

we've given up on the 'fit' part of 'fit, fat happy'.

Prawn tacos last night

followed by veal eye fillet, creamy mushroom sauce, pilaf and a brussel sprouts salad (and peas and corn for the sprogs). Sensational - the boys have no idea this shit ain't normal. I'm checking my privilege.

@nzzp Veal fillet? Are you a drug dealer? There is no other explanation for that level of disposable income.

@nzzp bugger. So he has. Thanks anyway for the price list. Note to other Ferners: he’s a bit on the expensive side. OK if you’re a Wellingtonian on six figures.

@nzzp was it what the Europeans call veal or what NZ butchers sell as veal?

not sure the difference, but it was NZ produced - Silver Fern Farms veal eye fillet.

[dogmeat]

@nzzp In NZ veal is usually just a bobby calf. Traditionally in Europe veal come from an older animal that has been fed a milk only diet (hence the extra expense).

European veal got a bad name when it was discovered that a lot of producers were in effect battery farming the calves. Spending their entire lives in the dark in crates. Crate farming was never really a thing in NZ as the calves are generally sent off to slaughter after only two weeks (the minimum is four days). Effectively getting rid of male calves as a by-product of getting dairy cows to lactate - hence traditionally a cheap product.

European style white veal is much harder to source here and is usually marketed as milk veal. It's much more expensive because you have reared the calf solely on a milk diet for almost a year. the meat is a pale pink rather than the deep red of beef.
