Baked naan bread is a soft, leavened flatbread that originates from South Asian cuisine, particularly Indian and Pakistani traditions. Typically made from a mixture of wheat flour, water or milk, yogurt, and yeast or baking powder, the dough is rolled out and baked in a tandoor oven or conventional oven. Its texture is fluffy and chewy with slightly charred, crispy edges. Naan is often brushed with butter or ghee, enhancing its rich flavor, and is commonly served as an accompaniment to curries, stews, or grilled dishes. Naan bread provides carbohydrates, making it a good energy source. While it contains protein from the yogurt and milk, its calorie content can increase depending on added fats like butter or oil. Whole wheat variations can offer more fiber and nutrients compared to the traditional refined flour version, making them a healthier alternative for balanced eating.
