Muslim Naan is a traditional bread recipe from Pakistan that is a staple in Pakistani and Indian cuisine. It is typically served with curries, stews, and other spicy dishes, and it is also commonly eaten as a snack. This bread has a soft and chewy texture and is typically cooked in a tandoor oven, which gives it a distinct smoky flavor. It is a popular street food item in many parts of South Asia and can be found in most Pakistani and Indian restaurants worldwide. The dough for this Muslim Naan recipe is made with basic pantry ingredients and is easy to knead.
