Great recipe. To get the real naan bread taste, you need to add about 1/4 tsp of crushed kalonji. With that addition, this is perfect.

These were amazing! I used a stovetop grill, and they turned out really well. This works well to make falafel wraps. "Sean's Falafel and Cucumber Sauce" goes great with these. I added about 1/4 tsp. of baking powder and followed the rest of the recipe as is. Thanks for the great naan!

I added 2 teaspoons sugar to the water and yeast. I added the garlic in with the other wet ingredients (not after the first rise). I like mine really garlicky, so next time I will add A LOT more garlic (both powder and minced from jar). I didn't have bread flour so I used all-purpose flour and added 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. I found 4 cups of flour was plenty. I made my dough balls about the size of 1 1/2 golf balls. I also discovered that I needed to roll them with a rolling pin to the thickness of a thick tortilla. They puffed up nicely with little brown spots and bubbles. I found that the longer the rolled out dough sits before grilling, the more bubbles puff up.

This is a great recipe, and here's a helpful hint for storing your unused naan in the freezer. We make a whole batch, cook it up in a grill pan, then freeze it. It is not 100% as good as fresh, but if you are a family of two, it is a great way to have 95% as good as fresh naan for a few weeks.

Wonderful. Had this for Indian night and this helped deal with the spicy food. I followed the original recipe but I cooked it in a skillet and I noticed that some of mine had problems rising at first. I solved this by first adding butter for a nice taste then adding the butter side to the skillet, letting it cook slightly, just enough time to butter the other side, then flip it over. I flip it over a couple of times to help it along, however, burning it actually gave it some really good flavor. Oil helps as well. Next time I'm adding more garlic into the dough because I'm a fan of garlic.

I didn't use the grill to cook the naan. I did like the recipe and will make it again. I did add 1 tsp sugar to the yeast before adding the additional ingredients. I would make the balls bigger next time. The pieces of naan ended up being the size of a small pancake.

This turned out great on the Baking plate of my GF G5 grill!! It made five nice pieces. The flavor was pretty bland but hey, it's a blank slate for whatever I feel like adding...coriander, fresh rings of onion, cumin, tandoori paste, garam masala...whatever. Great recipe, THANKS!!

This was an amazing recipe. I come from an East Indian background, and was looking for something that tastes authentic - I found it here! I took the advice of previous reviewers and used only 3 1/2 cups of flour. The naan came out fluffy, soft and very light. They were perfect. The only thing I'll change is the amount of sugar - or salt. I found them just a bit sweeter than I'd like. I should mention, though, that I did proof the yeast (added sugar to the water-yeast mixture) which may be the reason I had extra sweetness in my naan. I used my oven on broil (high heat). When the naan hardened up a bit (just about 45 seconds to a minute) and before it started to turn brown, I flipped sides and let it fluff up. I then flipped it again and let the first side brown as well. The total baking time is something like 4 minutes. This recipe was amazing. I'll be making this my permanent go-to naan recipe. Anyone looking for an authentic tasting naan, this is it!

I've never made naan before. I live in Central America and so I wasn't sure I'd be able to find already made naan at the store for our Indian themed party. I decided to try my hand at it with this recipe. It was a huge success! most of the pieces I ended up with were about the size of the palm of my hand. All the naan I've seen in my favorite Indian restaurants back home was twice that size so if I made this again I would either combine two of the balls before frying or make them twice as big from the start. Also, I don't have a grill so I just fried them on med-high heat in a covered skillet. Watch them closely! I burned a couple... Enjoy! The naan was delicious!

I make this naan all of the time. It is definitely a go to bread in my family. You can add all sorts of spices to it. My personal favorite is sprinkling about 2 tsp of curry into the mixture to make a curry naan. The garlic powder is really great to, but I add about 1 tsp more than the recipe calls for.

I am making this for the second time this week- this time for company. My whole family loved these. I also added 1 tbs of the sugar to the yeast mixture and as soon as I did the mixture started to bloom- so I know it needed it! They took longer to cook than I expected, but they were worth it.

The best. I cannot believe how easy and amazing this is! I followed the recipe but omitted the garlic and instead cooked ghee together with garlic and drizzled on top. Also, I lightly oiled my pan and heated to medium high. I put in the naan and immediately covered with a lid for about a minute and it got bubbly and perfect. Flipped it and then did the same - they were better than anything I have had in an Indian restaurant!

Excellent -- Had to use my griddle at highest heat rather than a grill pan, but it worked well -- bubbled like it should. Leftovers made great individual pizzas.

these were fantastic, though best eaten within a few minutes of cooking, as they became a little chewy later. I did them under the broiler for about 2 mins on each side. Also added black onion seeds (aka nigella) instead of the garlic

The flavor of this is excellent but 4.5 cups of flour is way too much. My dough was extremely dry and did not rise much even after 4 hours. I think my house is too cold as well. Will try rising in an oven with a bowl of warm water next time and using much less flour.
