  • The mixture will be sticky at first but should come off your hands pretty easily the more you mix it.

  • Using your hands and your floured work surface, stretch or flatten each piece of dough into a rectangular or triangular shape (whatever you can manage - naan isn't a perfect shape!).

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add your naan bread, working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan.

  • Cook for 3 minutes, flip then cook an additional 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a clean cloth to keep warm as you cook the remaining pieces.
