Cookbook talk:Naan
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
To what temperature should the oven be heated? --
All the cookbooks I have and recipes I've tried rely on the oven being very very hot - so I'm editing and putting 'as hot as your oven will go' - my oven goes to about 240 degrees Centigrade and that seems to work! TheMoog 14:35, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] yogurt?
Does the yogurt go into the naan, as well?
In my experience, yes it does. A lot of Indian cuisine uses yogurt from goats. 209.60.60.197 20:15, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Yum!
I just wanted to say that I tried this recipe today, and it made some awesome naan! As for the temperature, I cranked up my oven somewhere around 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 C) and it turned out great. I actually forgot to brush it with butter, but I like it that way. --Timc 03:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] how long in the oven?
I am curious to try this, but how long should the naan be in the oven? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.206.72.82 (talk • contribs) 2007-02-20T07:26:25.
- "Until done"! No, really, until they puff up a little and look cooked. In a really hot oven, this should only be about 4-5 minutes. (I'll adjust the recipe accordingly, thanks for prompting!) Webaware talk 22:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pretty good
I've also had success with this recipe, although I could have done with an oven that'd go hotter (230°C was barely hot enough - took 10 mins at this temp). I've added a note to say how many naan breads the quantities of ingredients given will make. David Johnson [T|C] 19:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sufficient water?
How much is sufficient? It's approximate of course but dough recipes should always contain an estimate of the amount required. I got pretty good results when making the recipe halved, using 1/2 cup of water, it ended up a little too wet so I'd guess 3/4 cup of water would be about right for the unhalved recipe. - anon
