The first time I made it, dinner felt incomplete. A few simple ingredients later, I had golden naan stuffed with melty cheese, brushed with rich garlic butter. The edges crisped beautifully, the center stayed soft and stretchy, and every bite was indulgent. What started as a quick side dish quickly became the most requested bread in our kitchen.
