While I never tire of Chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Biryani and Samosas, I can't get enough Naan. I love the stuff.
My obsession with the bread necessitated that I find a recipe to make at home. As luck would have it, I struck gold with my first attempt.
The Naan recipe that I used came from Manjula's Kitchen : Indian Vegetarian Recipes. I am looking forward to trying many of the other recipes on the website.
Naan Bread
4 c. flour
2 tsp. yeast
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. sugar
2 pinches of baking soda
4 Tbs. oil
5 Tbs. plain yogurt
1 1/2 c. warm water
This recipe makes 12 Naan.

After thirty minutes have passed, turn on the broiler.

Before putting the Naan into the oven, pat both sides of the rolled dough with lightly wet hands. Place two Naan on the baking stone in the oven.
Allow the Naan to bake for approximately 2 minutes, depending on your oven. The Naan should be golden brown on top.
I opted to flip my Naan and allow the bottom to brown for a little less than a minute.

Follow the same process for baking the remaining Naan. It is a good idea to allow the oven to reheat for a minute or two between batches.
The process was much easier than I anticipated and the Naan turned out perfectly despite my lack of a tandoor for baking. I hope that you will give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
