NAAN BREAD….YUMMM!
Naan Bread and Other Flat Breads From Around The World
First off, I want to say that this piece was a request from another writer/reader here on Medium. So Glenn M Stewart, fasten your seatbelt, and enjoy the ride!
Who has not gone into your favorite Indian or Nepalese restaurant, along with your meal, a basket of warm, yummy Naan Bread is set down. Warm, soft, either plain or brushed with oil and garlic or other herbs. You rip off a piece, then dip it into a curry sauce or some butter chicken. As you bite down and begin to chew this morsel, a burst of flavors and textures explodes in your mouth!
From Britannica
naan, teardrop-shaped, leavened flatbread traditionally baked in a tandoor oven (a beehive-shaped clay oven) or on wood charcoal. Although still a staple of South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines — and especially associated with Indian cuisine — the versatility and flavor of naan have led to its incorporation into many different dishes and cuisines worldwide.
So what types or flavors can be found? Here is a list of about 20 different types or flavors, and I didn’t know this. But why not!

How Many Types of Naan Bread Are There? The Ultimate Guide!
Most of the Naan that I have eaten is at an Indian or Nepalese restaurant. As I was curious, can one make it at home without a Tandoor oven, and while doing some research, I did come across this recipe, and it is simple enough. And no Tandoor oven, and imagine that many of us do not. But a good griddle or grill will do.
And I got curiouser and curiouser, and thought, HEY, wait a minute, aren’t there more types of flatbreads similar to Naan? Well, did a little looking and yes, there are. Are they like Naan, maybe yes, then again maybe no. I did find several websites that offered some information on it. According to “Taste Atlas”, there are about 100.
