I have made this bread twice. Once broiled and once pan fried, and I prefer the pan fried. I found it's best to roll a handful of dough in your hand, and then flatten it thinner than the 1/2 inch thickness stated in the recipe so it will cook all the way through without burning too much. You get about 5 small breads this way. This bread is very easy to make, but it's not like the puffy naan bread you get in an Indian restaurant. It's much heavier/denser. Nice to nosh on. Definitely needs the cumin seeds, and a bit of salt to keep it from being bland.

This recipe is all the right things: quick, easy, tasty. I made some changes based on the feedback - added a little more cumin seed, added a little salt, quite by accident added a little more sugar, buttered one surface, oiled the other. I would add, though, that if you've never made this kind of bread before the directions were a little sketchy. When you bake them under the broiler the baking sheet should be oiled or the stone should be lightly floured; make sure not to over-knead (makes some breads too tough). But this recipe is a keeper.
