Naan (Without a Stone Oven) --------------------------------
This bread is traditionally made in stone ovens, but your broiler will do just fine. This bread is good with soups, curries, kabobs, or plain eaten hot from the oven.
Ingredients:
4 cups flour (preferably un-bleached) 1 teaspoon salt 1 packet yeast 1/2 olive oil 1-11/2 cups water (scalded)
Method: Add 1/4 cup scalded water to the yeast and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Add everything to large mixing bowl. Knead dough until smooth, approximately 5-10 minutes. Cover and let rise in warm place for 1 hour. Punch down and knead again for 1 minute. Divide into 14 balls and roll on floured surface. Roll into 6" in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Broil them in broiler until golden brown, turning once. Remove and brush with melted butter or margarine. Cover to keep warm.

Into each life a little rain will fall, but if you have a friend, you can bear it all, for a friend is an umbrella, to hold above your head, and help you think about, the sunny days instead.
Into each life a little sun will shine, but if you have a friend, it will always be fine, for if you can share the sunny times, with a friend that will be ground, as you talk and walk together, securely hand in hand.
Into each life a little wind will blow, but if you have a friend, to whom you can go, your friend can help to guide you, can help you make the choice, by offering their view, and adding a new voice.
Into each life like leaves things will fall, but if you have a friend, you know that you can call, they'll always steer you clearly, when their counsel's sought, for a friend is like a safety net, in which you will be caught.
Into each life a friend will come to you, for if you have a friend, you'll know what to do, when a problem shows itself, for a friend is there to share, to offer an opinion, and show that someone cares.
Into my life my friend came as you, for I know I have a friend, to share experiences old or new, in the rain, sun, wind, or fall, who is loving, loyal, and most true, that sees my best qualities, and knows I am their friend too.
