When you are going to start baking the bread, get out the container from the refrigerator. Let it stay at room temperature for another 1 hour.
Fill your oven with pebbles. Reheat the oven up to 500`f.
Take a bowl of water and a tray to lay your dough on it.
Wet your hands and your tray, but not too wet.
Put enough amount of the dough on the tray.

Notes

Uniqop`s advice

Naan Sangak is better served fresh and hot. If it has got cold, reheat it in the microwave.
Sesame seeds make a pleasant taste. But make sure that they are not overcooked. So they can taste bitter.
