Naan Aka Indian Flat Bread image

My kids adore this bread. We use it with chicken curry as the spoon!! It would also work well with any salad or soup. I made this a couple months ago for my mom and dad and they devoured it.This is easily doubled. (For those who do not often work with bread, we add as much flour as needed to get a workable consistency, this is the original recipe I received...I just added more flour to mine.)
