My kids adore this bread. We use it with chicken curry as the spoon!! It would also work well with any salad or soup. I made this a couple months ago for my mom and dad and they devoured it.This is easily doubled. (For those who do not often work with bread, we add as much flour as needed to get a workable consistency, this is the original recipe I received...I just added more flour to mine.)

Sorry to rate this so low, but I had the same problems that Sylvie and Linaray did. It was just too sticky, so I think the dry/wet ingredient ratio is way off. I guess the other reviewers who ranked this highly adjusted the recipe pretty severely, but if anyone follows this recipe AS IS, and even with a few adjustments, you definitely won't get naan. So, I am still looking for that elusive perfect recipe.

    I made this to accompany Creamy Peanut Chicken Creamy Peanut Chicken. I used whole wheat flour and probably about a total of 4 1/2 to 5 cups. I used plain yogurt and topped the bread with seasme seeds. It was enjoyed by all.

    I made naan last week using your recipe. They were the best I ever had. They were soft with a little crunch on the outside. EXCELLENT! I also loved the flavor and aroma from the yeast.A sure keeper. After reading reviews,I was careful how I used the ingredients and I did just fine.
