4. Place the kneaded dough into an oil lined bowl to prove, cover with a damp towel and leave to rise for around 1 hour and a half hours. (You are looking for the dough to double in size)
5. Once proved, punch the dough to knock out the air and then knead again for 5 mins.

Notes

*** To keep the naan warm place in the oven at a low temperature. ***

*** You can make the nan garlic by cooking a little oil/butter and garlic in a pan on low heat. Then smother your naan and eat straight away ***

*** You can use flour on your hands to prevent sticking. But not too much, a sticky dough is better than a dry dough ***
