Traditionally, butter naan is made using refined flour, yet you can substitute it with whole wheat flour. We have made our tawa butter naan using refined flour and have used yeast. Yet some people use curd and baking soda for the fermentation of the flour. 

Be very careful while kneading the butter naan dough, if the dough would have not been kneaded well, the naan will come out chewy.

Butter : Butter contains 80% fats and it comprises of many types of fatty acids. Butter has short chain fatty acids and medium chain fatty acids which are broken down and absorbed into the body directly and go straight to the liver and get converted to fuel to be used by the muscles. Due to this anti-inflammatory effect, it is said to have a positive effect in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Recent research shows that small amounts of butter has positive effects on heart health. So diabetics too can have a small quantity of butter and balance it with other types of fats they consume. A tbsp. of butter fulfils 8% of your day's requirement of vitamin A. This Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant which is essential for glowing skin health and immune function.
