👩🍳 How to make it:
- Prepare the dough:
Mix flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
Add yogurt and oil and knead into a smooth dough (if it’s too dry, add a little warm water).
Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour (or until doubled in size).
- Prepare the filling:
Mix the grated cheese with garlic and, if desired, some fresh herbs. - Shape the naan and set aside. Filling:
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces.
Roll each ball into a small circle.
Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center.
Fold it into a pouch and press firmly together.
Turn it over (seam side down) and carefully roll it out into a flat log about 0.5 cm thick.
- Bake:
Heat a frying pan (without oil!) over medium heat.
Bake each naan bread for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear.
For an extra flavor boost, brush with melted butter with garlic and cilantro, if desired. 🤤
🧄 Serving suggestion:
Delicious with curries, soup, hummus, or tzatziki
Or simply as is, straight from the pan with a dollop of yogurt dip
You can even freeze them and reheat them in a pan or oven
🔄 Variation tips:
Spicy version: Add chili flakes or jalapeño to the cheese
Sweet and savory: Combine mozzarella with a drizzle of honey and walnuts
Vegan? Use plant-based yogurt and vegan cheese—it works just as well!
Soft bread + melted cheese = pure magic. ✨ Want to make a stuffed version with spinach or onions? Let me know, and I’ll post a recipe for you there, too 💚
