Chef's Notes
Do not skip the yeast foaming stage, or your naan will turn out as flat and lifeless as a royal decree from a dull monarch.
Pro Tip
If your skillet isn't smoking hot before the dough touches it, you are throwing away your chance at those iconic, smoky charred spots.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Leaving the skillet on maximum heat unattended while you roll the next naan, resulting in a smoke-filled kitchen that triggers the fire alarm and incinerates your pan into a charcoal graveyard.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the Jester if he wanted a slice of cheese naan, and he said he'd only eat it if it was signed by a king
The Culinary Science
Rapid rise yeast produces carbon dioxide rapidly when fed simple sugars in warm water, inflating pockets of gluten trapped inside the bread flour.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
