Naan Assembly and Cooking

Divide the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (about 6-8 balls).
- 8
Stuff the Naan
Flatten each dough ball into a small disc. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center. Fold the edges over the filling to seal and then gently flatten the stuffed dough ball again.

Roll Out the Naan
Using a rolling pin, roll out the stuffed dough into a teardrop or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Cook the Naan
Preheat a tandoor or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the rolled naan on the hot surface and cook until bubbles form, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 more minutes.
