In a large bowl, combine the fine flour, dried milk, butter, sugar, yeast, and salt. Gradually add lukewarm water and knead the mixture until you have a smooth, pliable dough. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a round or oval shape. Spread the prepared topping evenly over the naan. Let the topped naan rest for another 20 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the naan on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips and Tricks to Prepare Til Waly Naan:
- Dough Kneading: Knead the dough thoroughly until it’s smooth and elastic. This is crucial for a soft, fluffy naan.

- Topping Preparation: Finely chop the topping ingredients for even distribution and flavor release.
- Baking Temperature: Ensure your oven is preheated to 200°C for even baking.
- Moisture: A little bit of water sprayed into the oven, or a tray of hot water in the bottom of the oven will help to keep the naan soft.
- Fresh Yeast: Always use fresh yeast for optimal rising.
Other Variations:
