Was really disappointed by this recipe. It did not make a soft dough by any means--the liquid/dry proportions are off. I continued with the recipe as directed with hopes of change with rest, etc. as directed, but the dough fell apart. I ended up adding extra milk and oil in hopes of helping it hold together, but it turned out like toast instead of fluffy naan.
