Naan Flatbread

This recipe is for the bread that is traditionally eaten alongside almost any Afghan meal. Although naan would usually be bought from the local naanwahi (bakery), my mother remembers occasions as a child when naan was made at home; a gentle, warm and inviting aroma filling the house as they cooked. Once she had met my father, my mother recalls that his mother was known far and wide for the especially delicious naan she would bake.
