• You can add garlic, herbs, or spices to the dough for additional flavor.
• If you don't have yogurt, you can substitute it with milk or buttermilk.
• To reheat leftover naan, wrap it in foil and warm it in the oven for a few minutes.

Storage and Serving

• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To freeze naan, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag.
• To thaw frozen naan, leave them at room temperature or heat them in a microwave for a few seconds.
