For best results, ensure your yeast is fresh. If it doesn't foam when mixed with warm water and sugar, it may be expired. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. Avoid adding too much flour, as this can result in tough naan. Adjust the amount of sugar and salt to your preference. A little extra sugar can enhance the browning process. Keep a close eye on the naan while broiling, as it can burn quickly. Adjust the rack position as needed. For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of regular butter. Naan is best served immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
