Naan dough is a soft, slightly stretchy, and pliable dough primarily used for making naan bread, a popular leavened flatbread. Its texture is smooth and airy after proofing, thanks to the yeast (or sometimes baking powder and yogurt) used in the recipe. Naan dough typically includes ingredients like all-purpose flour, yeast, water, yogurt, and often a touch of oil or butter for added richness and a tender crumb. The dough is easy to handle and can be stretched or rolled out into the characteristic teardrop shape before being cooked, giving the final product a signature look.

Naan dough is best used fresh. If you have leftover dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze the dough. Divide into portions, wrap each portion individually, and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.
