La Brea Bakery Multigrain Naan
What it is
This is a type of flatbread that is traditionally baked in a tandoor oven. It is made with a blend of flours, including whole wheat, and often includes seeds and grains for added texture and flavor. The bread is soft and slightly chewy, with a characteristic blistered surface from the high heat of baking. It is designed to be a versatile accompaniment to a variety of meals.
How people cook with it
Naan is a popular choice for scooping up sauces and curries. It can also be used as a base for creative toppings.
- Scooping up curries
- Serving with dips
- Making flatbread pizzas
- Accompanying grilled meats
To enjoy this naan warm, you can heat it in a dry skillet over medium heat for a minute or two per side until pliable and slightly toasted. Alternatively, you can warm it briefly in an oven or toaster oven. It is also delicious served at room temperature. For a quick meal, spread it with your favorite toppings like cheese, vegetables, or cooked meats and bake until the toppings are heated through and bubbly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other flatbreads, naan's texture is typically softer and chewier due to the leavening agents and the traditional baking method. The addition of multigrains provides a heartier bite and a more complex flavor profile than plain white flour versions.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an authentic and convenient bread option for diverse cuisines will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining naan in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature to maintain freshness for a few days. For longer storage, you can freeze the naan, separating the pieces with parchment paper, and then reheating as needed.
