Naan is a traditional Indian flatbread that is often served with curries, dips, or grilled meats. It's typically made with white flour, yeast, and yogurt, which gives it a soft texture and tangy flavor. However, this no-knead naan recipe is a quicker and easier version that uses refrigerated bread dough instead of white flour and yogurt. The result is a chewy and slightly sweet flatbread that can be made in minutes. Serve it warm with your favorite Indian-inspired meal.

Instructions

1.	Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
2.	Stretch the refrigerated bread dough into a 8-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
3.	Brush the naan with ghee or cooking oil on both sides.
4.	If using oil, melt a tablespoon of butter in the hot skillet, then add the naan.
5.	Cook the naan for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and bubbly.
6.	Remove from heat and serve warm with your favorite Indian curry or dip.
