Garlic Naan Bread

These are so delicious...you won't be able to keep them coming fast enough! Organisation is the key. Firstly, try and make the dough the night before and then split the dough into balls, roll the Naans and have a stack ready to go. You have to be quick with these on the EGG, but you'll quickly get the hang of it.
