Notes

Naan dough is very sticky and much softer than Pizza dough. It will get smoother consistancy only after it has grown doubled in volume and you have knead it again using oil. In the traditional recipes, naans are just streched out through palms without using rolling pin. So if at the beginning if the dough feels liquid, do not worry. You can also try naan with different types of flours - but please remember that the quantity of water to knead will differ for different types of flours.
