Wheat flour is white flour. Whole meal flour is brown flour.

Super recipe, well done.
Question; how thin should they be before cooking?
and can one add things such as garlic, onion powder or ground white pepper. Or is this a big no, no?

What type of pan do you fry then on? And do you use any oil to fry them? I’ve been making naan bread and I just can’t seem to find a pan that fries them beautifully without having to us a lot of oil. (I’m not using enough to consider it deep frying, but it still seems like to much.)

Non-stick.
