Yes, copy and paste the top line, your image should be saved as a .jpg originally.
this one is well oversized, but still works ok.

Ok, let's try again then...

Nope, still won't work for me. Now is it to do with their size. I have 4 pics: 1.31mo, 1.45mo, 1.85mo and 884ko respectively. Does that mean they're too big? If so can I do anything about it (I can feel this is going to turn into a IT lesson!)

Yes - Too big, the photo I've posted is only 100kb.

Just resize your photos, save as .jpgs and upload again.

I tried this recipe again tonight, after taking the 2nd half of the dough out of the fridge.

This time, after reading CA's take on naan bread this morning, I added a handful of nigella seeds and kneaded the dough until the seeds were well integrated. Following on from CA's technique, I put the naan under a hot grill after it came out of the stovetop pan.

Edit: I should have said that I didn't use the blowtorch at all, I just stuck the naan straight under the grill.

I wish I had taken a photo or two as the finished article came out much better than my first attempt last night in terms of appearance, texture and taste. I shared it around and 2 adults and my 2-year old grandson all agreed!

Being a homemade naan virgin, I think my next attempt at a naan will be to follow CA's recipe (as his has no yeast) so I can compare the two, but I can definitely say that I wouldn't be ashamed to serve Clive's naans up with any curry I make.

OK not sure what you are doing wrong, apart from getting the image size down and possibly making them JPG's (as Chewy has said).
But nothing seems to show in your posts, as if you have pasted the URL link in.

Eureka, it works!
So finally here are the photos of the comparison test.

I've just made up some dough following UB's Haldi recipe that I found interesting judging by the photos. They were cooked in a Tandoor but I want to see if I can obtain the same result using a blow torch (doubtful). The only real difference being the substitution of yeast for baking soda...let you know.

Good pics Clive
Looks like more control with the heat gun
i.e. browning instead of scorching, well worth playing about with.
End result looks very much like a good supermarket bought jobby.
Thanks for sharing
cheers Chewy

Yeah but taste wise and texture wise the blow torched one is way better.
Ok, now it's time for me to get down to trying a good curry as haven't had the chance yet...any one in particular to recommend as a first off?...there are so many to choose from don't know where to start.

Would the heat gun not produce a similar result if held closer?
