This easy homemade naan bread is delicious served with almost anything. I even eat it on its own. It is soft and chewy with oh so much flavour.
We generally purchase naan from the store and it never blows me away, in fact it is normally a huge disappointment. Store bought is almost always hard and flavourless and leaves nothing to be desired.
In comes this fantastically easy recipe that you can whip up in less than an hour. Plus any leftovers can be kept wrapped up for a couple of days to be enjoyed whenever your get that naan craving.
Don’t think you only have to use this amazing flat bread exclusively for Indian dishes…oh no, I pair it with anything that normally calls for a side bread. Hey I even used it for a taco replacement for my cape style fish tacos, go check that recipe out…delish!!
