Instructions:

In a cup, mix 2 tablespoons of milk with saffron strands. Set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together the plain white flour and salt.
Create a well in the centre of the flour mixture.
Combine warm milk and butter or ghee, then pour it into the well.
Sprinkle dry yeast and sugar over the milk mixture.
Let it sit for 30 minutes.
Knead the dough for 15-20 minutes until smooth and elastic.
If using, add beaten egg and yoghurt to the dough, and knead until well incorporated.
Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Grease a clean bowl and place the dough inside.
Cover the bowl with a dry cloth and allow the dough to ferment overnight or for at least 6 hours until it rises.
The next morning, punch down the dough and knead it again.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and shape each into round balls.
Let the balls rest for another 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Take one ball of dough at a time and roll it out into a round circle.
Keep the naan thin in the centre and thicker around the edges.
Pull one end of the dough outward to create a tear-drop shape.
Brush the naan with ghee and saffron solution, then sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top.
Brush the baking trays with water and place 2-3 naans on each tray.
Bake for 4-5 minutes or until the naans puff up and brown spots appear on top.
