Plain naan bread is a traditional staple of South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Indian, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern dishes. It is a soft, leavened flatbread typically made with simple ingredients including all-purpose flour, water, yogurt, yeast, and a pinch of salt. Some recipes may also include a touch of sugar or oil for added flavor and texture. Cooked in a tandoor or on a hot skillet, naan develops a characteristic fluffy interior and slightly browned exterior. While naan provides a source of carbohydrates and some protein from the yogurt, it is also relatively high in calories and may contain added fat depending on preparation. Traditional versions may lack significant fiber due to the use of refined flour, but whole-grain adaptations can provide improved nutritional value. Naan pairs well with curries, stews, or as a base for creative toppings, offering a versatile and flavorful addition to meals.
