I'm working on making decent naan at home. My Indian coworkers are trying to help. It was better the second day after fermenting overnight. I hope that bread flour and a new recipe will improve it even more.

Looks fantastic. I'm too scared to try making naan at home because I'll eat way too much of it.
Great news! It takes 24 hours to do a decent job of it. You make up the dough the day before then let it ferment for 24 hours. That slows down your naan lust.
I wrote up some notes in this [comment](I used the western analog of a tawa/tava. I wrote up some notes in this comment.
I think you might grossly underestimate my appetite for naan, but I can forgive you for assuming that it's a sensible amount.
Unfortunately, you did lose me at 15mins aggressive kneading. But I am now a little more appreciative of my local yet pricy professional naan bakers!
You could use a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer with a dough hook. My Indian friend tells me that it tastes better if you knead it by hand. I suspect that restaurants use mixers to do it.
I enjoy the kneading.
