- With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll each dough into a small circle, put a piece of butter in the middle. Wrap it with the rest of dough.
- Roll the dough ball with the pin trying to form an eye-drop. It should be quick, not many passes with the pin.

- Heat up a skillet. Once hot, (just a drop of oil), put a naan. Wait until puffs up and start to get brown dots in the bottom.
- Flip and wait for the same. Check it doesnt burn! Likely less than 1 minute.
- Repeat for the other naans.
This is the result:
The soad bread was very tasty and super quick to make!!!
The naans were tasty too. I guess the filling can be very different.
