How Is Naan Traditionally Cooked?
Naan is traditionally cooked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven heated with charcoal or wood. The dough is typically made with flour, yeast, milk or yogurt, and water. The dough is stretched into an oval or round shape and then stuck to the walls of the tandoor, where it is baked until it puffs up and gets lightly browned. The result is a slightly chewy, fluffy bread with a smoky flavor. Today, naan is also cooked on a stove or in a conventional oven.
