Wheat flour Naan step by step

2. Using one tablespoon lukewarm water at a time form a soft and sticky dough. Knead well for 10 minutes. Naan dough is never dry. It has to be a bit sticky and moist..
3. Grease a bowl with a teaspoon of ghee or oil. Transfer the dough into the ball. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or cling foil. Keep in a warm place for 1-2 hours..
4. Combine topping ingredients in a bowl and keep near the gas stove. Keep one bowl of clean water next to it..
5. Heat flat cast iron pan/griddle over medium heat. Divide the dough into equal golf ball-sized rounds..
6. Gently flatten the dough ball with the pressure of your palm. Next, dip your fingers in water and gently try to shape the naan. Alternatively, you can dust the rolling surface with flour and roll out naan into an oval-shaped bread of 1/4 inch thickness..
7. Again, using wet fingers stick a teaspoon of chopped toppings over the naan.
