Put water on bread before toasting it, see what happens to the bread. It'll probably expand and get stuck in there

you put it on naans to keep them soft.
In fact best method is to get some grease proof paper, scrunch it all up and then run it under the tap, flatten it out and drizzle with olive oil then wrap the naan bread in it and cook for 10 minutes. When you open it the naan bread should be cooked and soft as Naans should be.

you put it on naans to keep them soft. In fact best method is to get some grease proof paper, scrunch it all up and then run it under the tap, flatten it out and drizzle with olive oil then wrap the naan bread in it and cook for 10 minutes.
Cook naan: Place a naan dough in the skillet and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the underside is deep golden / slightly charred – the surface should get bubbly. Flip then cook the other side for 1 minute until the bubbles become deep golden brown.
If serving within one day, store the naan in resealable plastic bag at room temperature. For longer storage, wrap each piece of cooled naan securely in plastic wrap and put all the rounds in a sealable plastic bag, then freeze for up to 3 months.
If you roll out your naan too thinly, it can fully cook through or dry out before bubbles start appearing. Make sure that you don't roll it any thinner than about ⅛ inch (4mm). It's too thick. If your naan is too thick, it won't puff up and it can also end up underbaked in the centre.
The addition of moisture, both on the surface of the dough and in the oven itself, prolongs the time that the crust takes to solidify. This, in turn, allows the dough to expand until the yeast has done its job without causing the crust to split and crack open at weak points.
While it may contain more carbs and sugars, it earns its reputation as a healthy alternative with its relatively generous amounts of protein and fiber. Despite its high carb content, naan can be considered a more nutrient-dense alternative to white bread and pita.
Its just the heat that creats the black spots after been cooked. Yeah, if its stale and you find those spots its a big no no. otherwise its only the heat that makes roti naan paratha etc indian bread look like black or brown or red spots on these edibles. Completely edible …
No, it does not need to be refrigerated, but if you want it to last a little longer, refrigerating can help with that as mentioned above. If you have never tried naan, then smack yo'self and make this recipe! It is so irresistible!
However, when reheating in the oven, you want to be careful so that the naan bread does not become overly crisp and dry out. Also, you want to make sure to not heat the naan bread for longer than required. That said, it is easy to reheat naan bread in the oven, as it restores the fluffy texture.
Naan bread typically lasts 2-3 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature. It can also last up to a week if refrigerated. Naan bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, wrap each piece of naan in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag.
You sprinkle water to keep the naan bread soft. Naan bread will naturally stiffen when not eaten straight from the pan, so eat it as soon as you possibly can.
The extra protein from the yogurt eliminates the importance of advanced gluten development. The yogurt also adds some fat. The fat keeps the dough nice and soft and prevents the naan from hardening too much during the cooking process.
Liquids are necessary in baked goods for hydrating protein, starch and leavening agents. When hydration occurs, water is absorbed and the chemical changes necessary for structure and texture development can take place. Liquids contribute moistness to the texture and improve the mouthfeel of baked products.
How does spraying a loaf of bread with water while it's baking affect the crust? The short answer is it creates steam which creates a crispy crust with a soft interior loaf of bread.
A wash helps keep the skin of the dough pliable is the early bake. It may also smooth or colour the crust as well as add flavour. Some washes also provide the glue if you want to add seeds to the crust. Once the final proof is complete, the finish of the crust is determined.
