10 Min Easy Naan Flatbread Pizza

What is Naan?

Naan is a leavened bread made from maida, an Indian white flour that is very delicate and powdery, similar to pastry flour. It is eaten most often with curry, used instead of a spoon to sop up all of the sauce and to pick up vegetables and meat. You may be familiar with naan as a great addition to butter chicken too and the rich Indian flavors one can expect from the delicious dishes.

Naan is usually cooked quickly in a hot tandoor, a cylindrical clay and brick oven with a dome-shaped top. Since this type of oven has an open flame, temperatures are often in excess of 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Typically, the dough is hurled towards the wall of the oven, where it sticks. There, the bread bakes until it puffs up and chars slightly in spots, and then is removed from the oven with a stake. If making naan at home, it’s also possible to use a regular oven; just like with a tandoor, make sure to bake until browned and crisp in spots.
