Naan is a leavened, oven-baked flat Indian bread common in India, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and certain parts of China. It's one of most popular varieties of the South Asian breads. Naan has also gained popularity in other Gulf States like Saudi Arabia. It is considered a typical bread of the northern Indian subcontinent and Afghanistan. Originally, naan is really a generic name for numerous flat breads used all over the globe. In a travelogue of William Tooke, the earliest appearance of “naan†in English literature dates back to 1780.
