Method

Avocado naan with pumpkin, feta and swiss chard
  • 1
    In a jug, combine milk, sugar and yeast. Set aside for 10 minutes until frothy.
  • 2
    Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir in extra sugar. Add avocado, egg, olive oil and yeast mixture. Mix to make a dough.
  • 3
    Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover and set aside in a warm place to prove for 1 hour (it will double in size).
  • 4
    Place pumpkin slices in a steamer basket over a saucepan of simmering water. Steam for 2-3 minutes until just tender, then set aside.
  • 5
    Roughly chop chard and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine olive oil and garlic. Toss through chard.
  • 6
    Preheat oven to 220°C and preheat two oven trays.
  • 7
    Punch dough down and knead for a few minutes until smooth. Divide into six portions and roll each into a rectangle shape about 20cm long. Transfer to a sheet of baking paper, then lift onto preheated trays.
  • 8
    Bake, two at a time, for 3-5 minutes until puffed and just starting to turn golden. Top each with steamed pumpkin, tomatoes, crumbled feta and pumpkin seeds, then sprinkle with sumac. Bake for 4-5 minutes until golden, then serve scattered with chard and radish leaves.
