Hi Shilpa,
u can add a 1 tsp of baking powder along with the amount of yeast u r using, this will help in cooking naan faster..it actually takes only 3-5 mins for the naan to get cooked with baking powder.

Can i freeze this naan? … if i have to make it for guests, its not poassible to make them after they have arrived like other roti and parathas..

Shilpa: I haven’t tried freezing them. But you can give it a try.

Doesn’t adding salt to the yeast+sugar mixture kill the yeast ?
Or should we add the salt to the flour instead?

Shilpa: Jane, I don’t know. I always make bread also this way.

Your Naan looks perfect!!! One way of making naan without using baking powder or yeast is to use self raising flour instead of all purpose flour / plain flour. Self raising flour is also used while making bature.. which gives them same result..

hi Shilpa,
i tried this receipe, except that instead of an owen, i used Convection setting in the Micro. the 1st batch turned hard like pappad. So i then took a blob of dough, cut it in 2 halves filled the garlic butter in the center, then put some more on top.
i tosees it back in the micro for 30 mins. The result was a loaf of yummy garlic break, the a crisp outer layer. Just like the kind served in pizzerias in Bangalore.

Hi Shilpa,

Tried the naan recipe ,it turned out to be a a success. I was wondering does the pizza stone enhances the outcome? And if I have to buy one which shop/brand I should look for in U.S.?

Thanks for the recipe .

Shilpa: I bought it in Walmart. Don’t know the brand.
