How to Make Naan Bread
This How to Make Naan Bread recipe uses a bread machine for the dough preparation followed by grilling to achieve fluffy, slightly charred flatbreads. The dough includes yeast, warm water, milk, egg, sugar, salt, olive oil, and all-purpose flour. Minced garlic is kneaded in before shaping. Cooking on a hot grill with butter produces soft, pillowy naan with buttery, toasted edges.
