  6. To make the naan dough in a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, active dry yeast, salt, garlic & oregano spread and mix well until the ingredients are well combined. 

  7. Now knead the dough with the curd and use the required amount of water to knead a soft dough. 

  8. Finally, add in a teaspoon of oil and knead into a smooth dough and shape it into a large dough ball. Place this in a greased bowl, and cover with a damp cloth and keep it rested in a warm place for about two hours. 

  9. Once the naan dough has doubled in size, punch down the dough, knead for a minute and divide into equal portions.

  10. Heat a cast iron tawa on medium heat, and keep it ready.

  11. Roll out each dough ball into a 3 inch diameter, brush water on one side of the naan, and evenly spread it on the entire surface of the naan, now place this naan on the tawa, with the water side face down. .
