One of the things I love most about these bake-alongs is watching people really engage with the process. did exactly that with her naan bake. She ran the fresh yeast version, paid attention to her cooking surface, and adjusted in real time when she noticed the spatula wasn’t creating the air pockets she wanted. Out came the paring knife. Problem solved.
She also caught the small things most people miss the first time, turning the dough during rollout, stacking and covering to keep the butter from soaking, weighing her dough pieces so they stayed within a gram of each other, and nailing the butter timing on the flip.
And the most important lesson of the day?
“Garlic butter is NOT optional.”
Her words, not mine.
Linda ended up eating three right off the pan and called it dinner. That counts as a win.
Bake. Observe. Adjust. Repeat.
Nice work, Linda. 🔥
