How It Is Stored After Cooking Though similar to pita bread, naan is made with an enriched dough—that is, the dough contains yogurt and egg. What is the difference between naan and roti? Roti, another traditional Indian flatbread, differs from naan in that it is unleavened (and therefore much thinner), and is typically made from just whole wheat flour, water, a little oil.
Instructions to make Naan bread:
- Mix water, yeast and sugar together on a bowl and stand in a warm place for 10 minutes
- Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Add yoghurt, yeast mixture and butter (ghee)
- Mix well together until it forms a dough
- Remove from bowl and knead on a floured board for approx. 5 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic.
- Put the dough in a bowl and cover. Stand in a warm place for about 90 minutes or until it is doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and knead again for 5 minutes. Divide into 2 large or 4 small pieces.
- Roll each piece into a naan shape.
- Heat the grill to a medium/hot setting. Line a grill pan with foil and lightly grease. Place the naan on the grill pan and cook under the hot grill until it is puffs up and becomes browned. Turn over and repeat on the other side. This should take approx 5 minutes per side but could be less depending on the grill heat so keep a close eye on it.
- Serve with your favourite curry!!

Naan may have derived from bread baked on hot pebbles in ancient Persia. Naan is a traditional flat bread from India, while pita bread is eaten in the Mediterranean and Middle East.
