Tips & Tricks (5)

Yeast Activation Magic 🌈
Ensure your warm water is precisely between 100-110°F to activate the yeast perfectly without killing it - use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Dough Hydration Secret 💧
Let the naan dough rest for 30-45 minutes after kneading to allow gluten development and create a more tender, stretchy bread texture.
Garlic Infusion Technique 🧄
Crush fresh garlic and mix it directly into melted butter to create a more intense and evenly distributed garlic flavor when brushing the naan.
Air Fryer Spacing Hack 🍽️
Cook naan in batches and never overlap pieces, ensuring each naan has enough space for crispy edges and even browning in the air fryer.
Yogurt Moisture Trick 🥛
Use full-fat Greek yogurt at room temperature to help create a softer, more pliable naan with better rise and texture.
