	'''Nang''' (Simplified Chinese: 馕; Traditional Chinese: 饢; Pinyin: ''Náng'') is the Uyghur / Xinjiang clay-oven flatbread that anchors everyday meals across [[Xinjiang Food]], often compared to Central Asian naan but treated locally as the default staple bread beside [[Xinjiang Pilaf]] and [[Lamb Skewers]].

Round loaves from thin crisp discs to thicker soft centers; stamped geometric patterns in the middle are common, with sesame, onion, or cumin seed toppings. Soft texture cue: firm chew at the rim, thinner crackle at the patterned center. Soft craft cue: dough rounds are slapped onto the inner wall of a hot clay tannur (tandoor-like oven) rather than baked on a flat tray like many [[Shaobing]] styles.<ref name="saveur" /><ref name="f52">[https://food52.com/recipes/12353-uighur-nan Food52: Uighur nan cultural notes]</ref>

Wheat flour, water, yeast or starter, salt; optional sesame, onion, cumin, or a light fat brush. Soft craft note: a patterned stamp (''chekich'') marks the center so it stays thin while the rim puffs. Eaten with kebabs, pilaf, soups, or tea. Overview only—not a recipe.

Core of Uyghur foodways on [[Xinjiang Food]]; travelers encounter nang stalls beside [[Cumin Lamb]] and [[Dapanji]] restaurants. Soft Silk Road framing: related to broader Central Asian naan traditions, yet in Xinjiang it functions as daily staple bread rather than occasional restaurant side.<ref name="xinhua" /><ref name="saveur" /> Soft industry aside: Xinhua and similar reports describe nang baking as both household craft and growing commercial bakery trade—note without store-count advertising. Distinct from northern [[Shaobing]] in oven method and cultural framing. Soft folk claims of a single inventor city should stay soft; the bread is regional and plural.

	== Serving and variations ==		== Serving and variations ==

	Staple with almost any Xinjiang main. See [[Xinjiang Food]], [[Xinjiang Pilaf]], and [[Lamb Skewers]].		Staple with almost any Xinjiang main; torn into [[Xinjiang Pilaf]], wrapped around grilled meat, or eaten plain with tea. Soft variations: sesame-heavy; onion-topped; thicker soft "meat nang" filled styles in some markets; thinner crisp travel loaves. Soft home tip in English food media: pizza-stone high-heat baking approximates tannur when no clay oven is available—approximation only.
