Naan is a popular Indian flatbread known for its soft, chewy texture and slightly charred exterior, often served as an accompaniment to various Indian dishes. Here’s a description of a basic naan recipe:

**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
– 1/2 cup yogurt (plain)
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 2 tablespoons oil or ghee (clarified butter)
– Water, as needed for kneading
– Additional oil or ghee for brushing
– Optional toppings like minced garlic, chopped cilantro, or nigella seeds (kalonji)

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Dough:**
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
– Add yogurt and 2 tablespoons of oil or ghee to the dry ingredients.
– Start kneading the dough, adding water gradually as needed, until it’s soft, smooth, and slightly sticky. Knead for about 5-7 minutes.
– Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 2 hours, allowing it to ferment and rise.

2. **Preheat the Oven:**
– Preheat your oven to its highest temperature, usually around 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet placed inside to heat up.

3. **Divide and Shape:**
– Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal-sized portions, usually 4-6 pieces.
– Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it with your hands.

4. **Rolling Out:**
– On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball into an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick. You can use your hands or a rolling pin.

5. **Toppings (Optional):**
– If desired, you can brush the naan with a little water and sprinkle minced garlic, chopped cilantro, or nigella seeds on top.

6. **Baking:**
– Carefully transfer the rolled naan onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
– Bake for about 2-4 minutes, or until the naan puffs up and the top is slightly golden and charred in spots.

7. **Brush with Ghee:**
– Remove the naan from the oven and brush the top with ghee or oil to keep it soft and add flavor.

8. **Serve:**
– Serve the freshly baked naan warm with your favorite Indian curries, stews, or dips.

This basic naan recipe yields delicious, homemade flatbreads that complement a wide range of Indian dishes. You can get creative with toppings or stuffings to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!
