Artisan Original Naan Bread
What it is
This is a soft, leavened flatbread that is traditionally baked in a tandoor oven. It has a slightly chewy texture and a mild, yeasty flavor. The bread is typically made with wheat flour, water, yeast, and a touch of oil or yogurt. It is a popular accompaniment to many Indian dishes and can also be used in other culinary applications. This version is crafted to offer a convenient and authentic taste experience at home.
How people cook with it
Naan bread is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways. Its soft texture makes it perfect for dipping or as a base for various toppings.
- Dipping into curries and sauces
- Serving as a side with meals
- Creating mini pizzas
- Using as a wrap for fillings
To enjoy this naan bread, you can warm it gently before serving. Place it directly on a oven rack in a preheated oven for a few minutes until it is soft and slightly puffed. Alternatively, you can warm it in a skillet over medium heat, flipping once, until heated through. Some people also prefer to lightly toast it under a broiler for a crispier edge. It is best served warm to appreciate its soft texture and subtle aroma.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other flatbreads like pita, naan is typically thicker and softer due to its leavening and often richer dough. It also has a distinct slightly charred flavor when cooked traditionally, which this product aims to replicate.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to enjoy authentic Indian bread with their meals.

After opening the package, store any remaining naan bread in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature for a day or two. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for several weeks. Ensure it is well-wrapped to prevent drying out.
