He definitely "crimps" the bottom end of the dough before putting into the tandoor

I (for one) support George in his moderation; this is a civilised forum and is in no way enhanced by the use of foul language.

Is it the pushing down with his fingers. Is this to control the rise of the bread
so it does not go like a big rugby ball when the steam is created inside.

Other than this I have no idea.

Shakes the flour out so that the naan doesn't go all crispy on the outside.

OK - this is a long shot but I'm willing to risk it for the prize.

Has he recently undergone a series of breast-reduction operations?

He uses a very hot, full sized restaurant specification tandoor oven, powered either by charcoal or gas.

He does it because no other cooking method is as good.

Whilst initial kneading, he, in a split second crimps the dough with a few fingers before folding the dough in on itself, to add a few more little air pockets, to help ensure the naan is soft inside when cooking.

He uses his fingertips to create pockets of air in the underside of the dough, so when he rolls it out it captures these and puffs them out when cooking.

The only thing I can see is that he adds oil on one side - the side not attached to the tandoor - to help crisp it up? - or have I had one too many Stellas?
