This recipe for naan makes 6 breads. Of course things can be added to your naan, onion, garlic,black onion seed. Brush with melted butter and scatter that stuff on before you bake .

Serve it up . If you can't finish all your naan (fat chance!) the unbaked dough also freezes wonderfully for another day.
