Bread Pad

The bread pad, known as a gaddi or naan pad, is one of the most important tools for any tandoor chef making naan, tandoori roti, or any flatbread in a clay oven. It is the cushion you press the dough onto and use to slap it against the hot inner wall of the tandoor. Without a good gaddi, the dough does not stick evenly, which leads to uneven cooking, bread falling off the wall, and wasted product during busy service.

Our Cotton Bread Pad for Tandoor Ovens is made from durable cotton construction and is designed for repeated commercial use. The pad gives you a firm, even surface for spreading out naan dough and pressing it cleanly onto the clay wall in one confident motion. The result is naan that adheres uniformly, cooks evenly on both sides, and comes out with that perfect combination of crispy exterior and soft, pillowy interior that customers expect from a good tandoor kitchen.

This bread pad works with all sizes of Shaan tandoor ovens and is the same gaddi that comes included with our tandoor purchases. If your current bread pad is worn, compressed, or burnt through from daily use, replacing it is one of the easiest ways to immediately improve the consistency of your naan output.
