You cannot replicate authentic naan in a standard oven. Our kitchen relies on a traditional cylindrical clay tandoor that reaches a blistering 900°F (approx. 600°C). Our chefs take a ball of fermented dough, stretch it out, and slap it directly against the superheated inner wall of the oven. Within 90 seconds, the dough puffs up, blisters, and cooks to perfection. We pull it out using long iron hooks and immediately drench it in melted butter.
To bake the most authentic butter naan in Oakland, we make our dough fresh daily using fine white flour (maida), a touch of yogurt for softness, and baking powder. The secret to its incredible texture is the resting period. The dough ferments for hours, developing gluten structures that ensure the bread remains stretchy, pillowy, and chewy rather than dense.
