The Walmart nearby doesn't carry it. I will try a super Walmart.

Thanks for the tip.

What do you mean by that? Reduce water as more yogurt is used?

I think she switched to broil to bake Naan but preheated the oven by
leaving at 500 degree for 20 minutes. At least that's what my friend
said I didn't understand what the lady in the video said.

So, you would not use broil?

I don't think so. It would, however, give you a bit more heat at the top in
the 2-3 minutes the naan is baking. If you get your oven as hot as it
absolutely go, short of the cleaning cycle, and you heat your stone, I
don't think you need to broil.
