'''Naan''' is a type of [[leavened bread]] traditionally associated with the [[cuisine]] of the [[Indian subcontinent]]. The bread is typically baked in a [[tandoor]], or clay oven, which gives it its distinctive taste and texture.

== History ==

The word "naan" comes from the [[Persian language]] and means "bread". The first recorded history of naan can be found in the notes of the Indo-Persian poet [[Amir Khusrow]], which dates this bread to 1300 AD. The naan was a popular breakfast choice among the royals during the [[Mughal era]] in India.

== Preparation ==

Naan is made from [[wheat flour]], water, and a leavening agent. The dough is kneaded and then left to rise before being rolled out and cooked in the tandoor. Some variations of naan may also include [[yogurt]], [[milk]], or [[eggs]] in the dough to give it a softer texture.

== Varieties ==

There are many varieties of naan, including [[garlic naan]], which is topped with minced garlic and butter, and [[Peshawari naan]], which is stuffed with a mixture of nuts and raisins. In some parts of the [[Middle East]], naan is served with [[kebab]]s or used to scoop up [[curry]] or [[dal]].

== Cultural Significance ==

Naan holds a significant place in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is often used as a utensil to scoop up other foods, and is a staple in meals, particularly in North India.
