The ingredients for Naan are:

Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour or wheat flour
1/2 cup of warm milk
1/2 cup of yogurt
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp oil
your choice of spices to flavor

Here is how you make Naan:

1. Begin by combining all of your dry ingredients?the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt?into a bowl. Mix them up well.2. In a separate bowl, warm the milk (heat in microwave for about 25 seconds) and combine with the plain yogurt. Let the yogurt sit out for about 15?20 minutes just to take the chill off.3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly add half of the yogurt and milk mixture. After adding half of the mixture, gradually add a bit more until the dough comes together. I ended up using the entire milk and yogurt mixture with the all-purpose flour. However, I only used about 3/4 of the mixture when using the whole wheat pastry flour.4. Mix the dough with a spoon until it comes together. Use a bit of oil to grease your hands and form the dough into a ball. No kneading at this stage!5. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it sit for at least 2 hours.6. Dust your work space with flour and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes. It should be soft and pliable. Form it into a circle and score into eight even pieces 7. Flatten each piece of dough. It should still be rather thin and somewhat elongated.8. Season one side with your choice of spices and brush the other side with water. 9. Heat a skillet on medium heat. I used my dandy, trust old cast iron. I couldn?t live without it. Place your dough water-side down in the skillet. It will stick. Cook the naan for about 30-60 seconds. You know it?s time to flip it when you can see the dough bubbling. If it is still sticking, give it another 15 seconds and try again. Gently lift it up with kitchen tongs.Serving Size: 8 medium sized pieces Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LIVSWIM04.
