Sourdough Uyghur naan

I learnt this recipe from a documentary video talks about Uyghur naan. Although there are hundreds of naan styles, the most common ingredients for the dough could be as simple as white flour, water, salt and yeast. Typically cumin seeds, Onion and yogurt are added as well. After 1st rise, the dough is usually shape into a flat round piece with center very thin and a thick rim. Right before baking naan in a brick tandoor, wet the surface and dip with some minced onion or sesame seeds on top. Using a very special needle tool stamp lots of holes in the center to avoid inflation. This is also the unique feature of Uyghur naan. I turn yeast rising naan into sourdough by adding a substantial amount of sourdough starter and reducing the yeast to the minimal.
