Recently, when we visited the San Francisco, we got a chance to try Indian food for the first time. We came across naan bread, which is supposedly the biggest part of the Indian food. The bread was so amazing, that we went back for lunch a few days after. Each time we ordered several breads to take out. Oh boy, if I only knew how good the bread was, I would have been making it at home.

Naan Bread

Naan bread is chewy with a bit of a sweet taste to it and a nice crust all around. In the last few days, I’ve made several batches of this recipe. The turnout was fantastic, just like the one at the Indian restaurants. This bread tastes absolutely mouthwatering when it’s warm. You can use it in many dishes, including sandwich bread or even a pizza crust.
