What Is Naan Bread?

Naan is a simple flat bread cooked inside of a round traditional clay oven named tandoor.

The name comes from Persian word ‘Nan’ meaning simple bread baked on hot pebbles in ancient Persia.

Naan in parts of the Indian subcontinent usually refers to a specific kind of thick flatbread. Generally, it is usually leavened with yeast or with bread starter (leavened naan dough left over from a previous batch) […].

Typically, it is brushed with some water but in some other cultures such as those in the Indian Subcontinent, they brush ghee or butter.

It enjoys a special position in the Indian cuisine as it can be used to scoop other foods and gravies or served stuffed with a filling – Wiki

It’s origins goes back to Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and South Asia. Back in those days it was a simple type of bread made with just flour, salt, water and yeast.

Leftovers

They are best enjoyed freshly cooked and warm. They tend to become gummy when cooled off. However, in case of any leftovers wrap them with cling film and keep them in the fridge for a couple of days.

Ho To Reheat Naan Bread?

Unwrap, slightly splash with water and reheat in the oven until warmed through. Don’t expect the same initial quality, though.
