      After the yeast has started to foam mix the yogurt and Ghee into the Wet.

      Add the Wet to the dough.

      Mix well and add yogurt or water to make a wet dough.

      Let dough rest covered for 15 to 30 minutes.

      Divided dough into smaller balls and let rise 15 to 30 minutes.

      Interesting recipe. Is there a specific reason you transfer to a broiler instead of just flipping it in the fry pan? Thanks.

      Powerplantop,

      First, let me say your posts are 대박! I’ll take a guess at that one. Naan bread is cooked in a tandoor (oven) which exposes the bread to flame. This really makes the crust crispy and maybe a little scorched in some places. My guess is the broiler is used to get that same “wood fired” crispy crust. I’ve never made naan from scratch but I usually finish it off on the gas grill to get that same crispy, scorched outside.
