To enjoy this naan, you can warm it up in a few simple ways. For a soft and slightly crisp texture, heat it in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat for a minute or two per side until warmed through and lightly golden. You can also warm it in the oven, wrapped in foil, at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. Some people even toast it lightly under a broiler for a few moments, watching it carefully to prevent burning.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many other flatbreads, naan is typically leavened, giving it a puffier and softer consistency. The addition of yogurt in the dough contributes to its characteristic tenderness and slight tang. This artisan version emphasizes a rich garlic flavor.
