“Recipe is a clear winner! Crispy on the outside, tender and chewy on the inside. Dough was great to work with! Made 16 thin naans. Rolled dough in circles, let them rest, then rolled again. Brushed with garlic butter.” — a cook, 5.0★
“Recipe is very easy to follow and works perfectly. Naan was delicious with soft texture. My first time attempting homemade naan and this will now be my go to naan recipe” — a cook, 5.0★
