Instructions

1. 1
   Make the dough by kneading together all the ingredients and sufficient water (this will be approximately ¾ cup but some judgement is required).

3. 3
   Divide the dough into small balls.
4. 4
   Roll out the balls in oblong or round shapes with a rolling pin or by slapping and stretching with your hands.
5. 5
   Smear the surface with water and bake in a tandoor or preheated oven (as hot as your oven will go).
6. 6
   The naans should puff up a little, and be ready to remove from the oven in 4–5 minutes.
7. 7
   Brush the naan with butter. Serve hot.
