FAQs

What is the difference between flatbread and naan? ›

Naan is another flatbread traditionally served in Indian restaurants but the difference is that there will already be a filling inside these flatbread pockets. Naan may be stuffed with curd, fresh desiccated coconut, butter, nigella seeds, and raisins.

Moreover, naan provides some essential vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins B1 and B3. It's even a decent source of iron ( 2 , 8 ). Like other breads, naan is particularly high in B vitamins, carbs, and iron. It also offers protein and iron.

How should I store Stonefire® flatbreads? We recommend storing in the freezer ,to maintain freshness, if you are not going to consume immediately. Our flatbreads freeze very well! If frozen properly you can keep the flatbreads up to a year.

We stay true to an ancient recipe by using fresh buttermilk, ghee (clarified butter) and hand stretching each naan into its unique teardrop shape. Then they're baked in our patented tandoor tunnel oven to give the texture and taste of a traditional tandoor oven. Just heat and serve to make any meal special.

Naan is higher in protein (around 9 grams) and fat (around 5 grams) than pita and other breads.

Naan bread can be part of a healthy diet, especially if you choose whole grain varieties. Naan bread contains vitamins and minerals like niacin, fiber, and iron, as well as fiber. It also is a good source of carbohydrates, which provide energy.

Look for “whole grain,” “whole wheat,” or “whole meal” on the label. If a loaf contains 6 grams of fiber per 100 g, it's rich in fiber. Choose breads with plenty of intact grains, like oats, barley, and quinoa, as well as seeds, if you can eat these. Watch out for mass-produced sourdough breads.

From health perspective, flat breads made of whole wheat flour (roti/paratha/chapati/phulka) are better than the ones made with all-purpose flour (naan & kulcha).

Naan is best stored sealed in a bread box or dark location to help preserve its aroma and flavor. What if you have extras that you want to freeze? Naan can be easily frozen and thawed to room temperature – no special treatment required.

Naan bread typically lasts 2-3 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature. It can also last up to a week if refrigerated. Naan bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, wrap each piece of naan in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag.

How do you eat Stonefire flatbread? ›

Wrap it. Toast it. Turn it into a sandwich, or a pizza. Or add our Stonefire® Naan dippers to an appetizer spread to turn it into a quick lunch meal.

You sprinkle water to keep the naan bread soft. Naan bread will naturally stiffen when not eaten straight from the pan, so eat it as soon as you possibly can.

I recommend keeping naan frozen until you're ready to use it. It's super simple – just take it out and thaw the flatbread for 15 to 20 minutes before topping and baking it. We've included simple instructions on the packaging to help you get the best naan experience.

Naan bread is soft, fluffy, and chewy, whereas pita bread is denser with a slightly crispy texture on the outside. Naan bread also has a buttery flavor due to the ghee and buttermilk in the dough, which adds an extra dimension of flavor compared to pita bread's more neutral taste.

Tandoori roti is closer to naan thanks to its similar cooking method. Though tandoori roti starts off like regular roti, it is usually more flaky and crispier because it is cooked in a tandoor oven on high heat. Just like naan, tandoori roti has a grilled flavor.

A flatbread is bread made usually with flour; water, milk, yogurt, or other liquid; and salt, and then thoroughly rolled into flattened dough. Many flatbreads are unleavened, although some are leavened, such as pita bread.

Naan is a single-layer bread with a light and slightly fluffy texture and golden-brown spots from the baking process. It is made primarily from white flour or wheat flour and a leavening agent (usually yeast), which results in the formation of air pockets in the dough that impart fluffiness and softness.
