  Mark, as you asked I would say 'yes, add more flour'. Bread mixes should never be taken too literally - I often find you have to add a bit more flour. Always add the liquids slowly and be prepared to stop before the recommended amount if it feels right.

  These are great, especially if you have an Aga so you can cook them on the floor of the roasting oven, about 3 minutes per side.

  These are great, especially if you have an Aga then you can cook them directly on the floor of the roasting oven for about 3 minutes per side.

  I have a stovetop cast iron hotplate and griddle... Would this bread cook ok on the flat top side? Or does it need the oven heat as well as contact heat. If necessary I can put the iron into the oven, but the balti recipe I have will be in the oven... Many thanks

  Forgot to ask, if you wish to add flavours, ie: chopped chilli, or coriander... At what point is it better to add? Before the proving time? Or as you shape? I don't want to risk any added ingredients ruining the dough and preventing it rising... Thanks again

  Excellent recipe, worked wonderfully well and tasted great, much better than the supermarket ones. I used Greek yoghurt and mixed the dough in a food processor. I also grilled them on both sides.

  Different flours absorb liquid more than others and develop more gluten when kneading. If your dough is too sticky just add a bit more flour making sure its kneaded in well. If it's sticking to your fingers, just flour your hands a little.

  Fantastic recipe, I love naan bread and hate the supermarket version, this was authentic and very tasty. I have frozen a batch and will report on how they are. Absolute top marks!

  Very good recipe. I put all the ingredients in the bread maker and ran the pizza dough program 45 minutes only. Baked on a cast iron griddle, will not bother with the grill next time.

  The end product was fine......but I had to add so much flour to make a dough , the recipe just isn't accurate. Next time I will add more flour from the start, no wonder other people said they had a sticky mess . After the addition of flour I made quite good naan, certainly they rose well, and I topped them with a mix of chopped coriander and crushed garlic which I think helped. When it came to cooking I recommend using a fan assisted grill at 270 degrees for the whole cooking time, the idea of using a very hot oven followed by a grill is simply not practical.

  I had a friend coming round and, despite living next door to an Indian takeaway, wanted to make my own nan breads to go with the chicken curry I'd prepared. This recipe worked incredibly well staggering me my wife and our friend as I am by no means a cook. I went slightly off piste in a couple of ways. Firstly I just threw the ingredients in together and kneaded them rather than leaving the yeast to forth in a bowl first. Secondly I spread the mixture on a large bakeoglide sheet for the second prove. After an hour I transferred it to the floor of the roasting hot oven and left it for the advised three minutes. The bread was moist tasty and so much more sattisfying the buying it. CKD

  To anyone having problems with the yeast. Make sure you use dried active yeast. If you have instant dried yeast (like you use in a breadmaker) add that direct to the flour sugar and salt mixture. Then add the liquid to the dry ingredients.

  Great recipe and picked up a few tips from previous comments. I also have a combi oven/grill but managed to switch between both settings to get the perfect result. This was my first attempt at naan bread and was delighted with results. It smells amazing and looks great. I had no vegetable oil and used Indian chilli oil as an alternative, it worked great however no real taste of chilli came through. Give it a go ! : -)

  I made these last night and my husband said they were better than those in our local Indian restaurant !! Just put all the ingredients in my bread machine and put on dough programme. Once cooked, I drizzled with melted butter into which I had crushed garlic. Can't wait to try again :-)

  I tried this recipe tonight, it was amazing. I only needed to add a little extra flour while needing it and this prevented it from sticking. This is one recipe going in my list of favourites.
