Why This Recipe Works

There is nothing like the sight of a massive, buttery naan landing on the table. This recipe brings that restaurant excitement home, using a very hot oven to mimic the blistering heat of a traditional tandoor.

Instructions

Simmer garlic in melted butter to infuse, then set aside while you combine the dough ingredients and knead for 5 minutes until soft.

Let the dough rise in a warm place for an hour until doubled, then roll into large triangular sheets that will fit on your baking pan.

Slide the naans onto a preheated pan in a very hot oven and bake for 5 minutes until they are puffed and soft, then finish with a generous brush of garlic butter.
