Notes

  • Wait until your sourdough discard is super bubbly before taking out what you need for your sourdough discard naan.
  • Mixing this batter dough is fast and easy. You want it soft and wet, but not too sticky. Since flour varies so much by absorbancy, make the additions of flour in 1 tablespoon increments. Mix until the dough ball just stops sticking to your hands.
  • For Gluten Free Naan, use 1:1 gluten free flour that performs well for baked goods.
