I know, it’s look like other kind of flat bread but believe me, this is my naan. I adapt this recipe from................ Naan Bread in original recipe is more flat because there is no resting time before get into the oven, you just shape it and bake. But my naan is soft and puffy, you can cut them in half and make a sandwich (look a bit like pita bread but it’s softer). So, if you want different texture, just put them directly into oven after shaping them. I always make a sandwich from this bread, but if you like use it to accompany your curry, it will be good too.
