Indian Naan Bread

Indian Naan Bread is a type of flatbread that is popular in India, Pakistan, and other South Asian countries. It is made from white flour, water, yeast, and vegetable oil. Naan is traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven, which gives it a unique smoky flavor. Naan is often served with curries and other dishes, and it is often served with butter, garlic, and herbs. It is also a popular accompaniment to Indian meals.

  • 1/4 cup warm water

Directions

This Indian Naan Bread recipe is delicious! Perfectly soft and fluffy, it's a delicious accompaniment to a variety of curries. Best prepared in a tandoor oven, but still delicious when cooked in a skillet. Highly recommend!
