How do you get naan bread to stick in tandoor?

I saw people adding a little water and then slapping them on. I have a homemade tandoor made from a clay pot and sits on charcoal. - some naans will stick and some will not.

    C w, some of your naans are not sticking to your tandoor's walls because your dough is too soft. The next time you make the bread, stop adding the flour when you have a non-sticky dough. Knead well for at least 10 minutes. Cover with a slightly wet towel and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles, about 2 hours usually. Make sure the dough does not rise too much or the bread won't be good. If your dough is too soft, the exterior half of each naan will fall off the tandoor's walls.

    Since I cannot watch you bake your bread, I can't tell you whether or not your homemade tandoor is doing its job or not.

    There is a wonderful website online which shows the entire naan-making process, with pictures. There is even a good recipe for naans, and there are a few helpful hints as well. You may have seen it, but if you haven't, you might enjoy looking at it. Here is a link for it:

    Have you thought about trying a different recipe such as the one given at this website? I think it's worth a try since you've been having trouble with the bread you've been making. It's only a suggestion.

    I hope this helps you. Good luck! :)
