Naan Bread 

Makes 5 (8-inch) naan

3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp coarse salt

1/2 Tbsp baking soda

1/2 cup milk

2/3 cup warm water

1 Tbsp canola oil

4 Tbsp butter, melted

Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; stir to combine. Combine milk, water, and oil in a medium bowl; whisk to combine. With mixer running, pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. As soon as mixture comes together, switch attachment to a dough hook and mix until dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Do not over-mix.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 1 hour. Place a pizza stone on a top rack of oven, positioned approximately 6 inches below the broiler. Preheat oven to 500°F for at least 30 minutes. Divide dough evenly into 5 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into an 8-inch circle. Turn oven to broil. Carefully slide one circle of dough onto the preheated pizza stone, and broil until bread is bubbled and golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully, as the bread can burn very quickly. Repeat with remaining dough rounds.

Brush the warm bread with melted butter and serve immediately.
