Cooking Tips

• Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
• If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
• For a more pronounced onion flavor, you can add finely chopped red onion to the dough.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover naan can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, wrap the naan in aluminum foil and warm it in a preheated oven at 350掳F (175掳C) for about 5 minutes.
• Serve the naan as a side dish with your favorite Indian curries or soups, or enjoy it on its own as a snack.
