- The dough got soggy from the pear.
- The pear was too juicy. Dice it small and pat dry with a paper towel before putting it in the dough.
Pear Stuffed Naan
A bold experiment that became a classic: the salty-sour naan dough meets the sweetness of ripe pear. During baking, the fruit sugar caramelizes, and the pear juice steams the dough from the inside. It's like a quick skillet pie, but with the characteristic chewiness of naan. Combined with cheese (e.g., gorgonzola), it's a true gourmet dish.
