Naan
Naan is a soft, chewy flatbread brushed with butter and a whisper of garlic, delivering tender pockets and toasty browned spots from a hot pan. It’s rich yet light, perfect alongside curries or grilled meats, or for scooping up dips. Serve warm to enjoy its pillowy texture and buttery aroma at their peak.

Punch down the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead in the garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball; you should have about 14. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a tray. Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Brush some melted butter on the preheated grill pan. Place a few pieces of dough in the pan (as many as will fit) and cook until puffy and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush butter on the uncooked sides, flip, and cook until browned, 2 to 4 more minutes. Remove from the grill and repeat to cook the remaining naan.
