Naan is a very easy recipe. Easy but at the same time could be tricky. All it requires is a little bit of patience. In order to get the best taste just follow the recipe. Naan is a very tasty substitute for rice available in almost every Indian restaurant. Add a little bit of butter as topping and the taste is enhanced to such an extent that it feels like being in heaven as you keep tasting it.

Ingredients:

All purpose Flour  - 3 cups
Sugar - 2 tsp
Yeast - 1 and half tbsp
Oil - 3 tbsp
Warm water - to make the dough
Egg - 1
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Butter - as topping

Preparation:

1. Add yeast to 1/2 cup of warm water and wait for 2 mins. 
2. Add sugar, oil and the above mixture to the flour and mix well. Add salt and warm water and make it in to a soft dough. 
3. Cover it with a wet cloth and leave it aside for 30 mins to 1 hour. The flour will double in size.

5. Divide the dough in to 12 to 15 portions and apply oil on the outside. Leave it aside again for 1 hour.
6. The dough raises againas shown in the picture.  
7. Take each portion and press the air out of it and then press it like a roti. Make sure that the thickness of the naan is 5 to 6 times that of a roti. Do not make them thin.
8. Preheat the oven to the maximum temperature possible. 
9. Place these pressed naans on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven for about 4 to 5 minutes. 
10. You can see them puff up. Remove the Naans from the oven and then roast them on the gas flame for a few seconds to give them the perfect color.
11. Top the naan with butter on both sides. Repeat this procedure for the rest of the naans and serve hot. 
12. Naan goes well with any gravy curry.
