Awesome. I used to make it but stopped for some reason. I struggled to get decent shape, not that that matters. Your looks great

Thanks for posting this.  Homemade naan is the bomb.

Three quick things:

• I am a fan of the Food Lab, and may give this a try
• That being said, the best naan I've had is here - http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1205398/the-relentless-naan-thread-part-2-also-long-but-i-think-i-nailed-it
• Last, if you want to avoid the grid marks, @caliking discovered/developed the technique of using an inverted cast iron skillet over a felt level grid (usually on an MM, but would also work on an LBGE with an AR).  You just press it on with a pad and off to the races.

I'm trying it tonight but just to make @Caliking sad. Also a Roccbox will help you avoid grid marks and it looks so much cooler than a cast iron pan.

Yep. Homemade naan beats the pants off store-bought naan almost every time. 

If the Food Lab recipe is the same as the one from Serious Eats, then I found it to be too "yogurty". Disclaimer - I'm used to Indian naans, which is somewhat different from other iterations. 

And you're holding out @JMCXL... let's see what the naans accompanied!

Steer clear of this guy. Otherwise it will cost you money. LOTSA money.

Its hard to be restrained when you have hot, fresh, naans and good food in front of you.
