    While it doesn't compare to the amazing naan we find at some of our local farmer's markets, this was quite good for being cooked in a home oven. I used my baking steel to great advantage here. If you want fresh baked naan for dinner, just make the dough in the morning, put it in the fridge, then take it out in the evening to rest on the counter a little before you bake it. I found that I had to add an extra quarter cup of flour, however, and the dough was still quite wet. But wet dough tends to make bread with great chew, and these were incredibly quick to roll out when first dusted lightly when flour. Finally, I mixed chopped raw garlic in with the melted butter for a garlic naan topping.
