This Naan Bread is a soft, baked bread roll, with some fennel seeds and poppy seeds sprinkled on the top.

This truly delicious typical South African treat, from Indian heritage, should not be confused with the famous Garlic Flat Naan Bread.

Can I use milk instead of yogurt in naan bread?

Variations like milk or yogurt are used instead of water to make the dough soft and fluffy. This would change the texture and flavor of the bread.
