Uzbehki bakeries in Dongdaemun will be the closest you'll get.Probably your solitary option for anything resembling naan.
Thread on here somewhere about how to get here.
Failing that,buy an oven. |

Uzbek bread is usually spelled nan, not naan. Indian (dots) bread is usually spelled naan. The OP may want to clarify which one (s)he is looking for. |

I've never tried Uzbek nan. Is it similar to Indian naan? If it is, either would be good. |

If you have a gas stove with an open flame, some flour and some water, you can TOTALLY make your own delicious naan (or chapati or roti or whatever you want to call it). Just find a recipe for it online. The tricks are, to let the dough sit for an hour, covered, before cooking so that the water mixes well with the flour. Roll them VERY flat and with an even thickness. And after cooking for one minute on each side in the frying pan, the most important thing is to put them on top of open flame for 10 seconds on each side, so that it bubbles. Ta-da, instant, easy delicious naan. Spread butter on it to keep it moist. |

Uzbek nan is rounder and thicker. Kind of like a giant bagel. It's best when fresh out of the oven and will quickly diminish over time.
It's usually called lipioshka here. I haven't checked the bakeries in Dongdaemun, but I imagine they have it. If not, all the Uzbek cafes make fresh nan.
