Naan | Butter Naan (no tandoor or oven)

Learn how to make perfect homemade restaurant-style naan. 

Naan is a popular Indian leavened bread that is soft, fluffy, and made using all-purpose flour (maida) and along with other basic ingredients such as yeast, curd/milk, and cooking oil, although yeast is optional. 

Instead of yeast, other leavening agents can be used such as baking powder and baking soda. Naan can be baked in a tandoor, oven, or using a stove-top such as cast iron skillet.
