Homemade Naan
To recreate the blistering effect while maintaining the traditional teardrop shape of Naan. I cook the bread in a very hot 450F oven on a large pizza stone that is blistering hot. The quick cooking time is only around 7-minutes, and the resulting hot fresh bread is simply irresistible. Spread with ghee or butter, you may actually fill up on bread before your meal actually starts.
