Cheesy Garlic Naan

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp active yeast
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt

For the Filling:

• Shredded cheese (use your favorite!)

For the Garlic Butter:

• 1/4 stick butter (melted)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp parsley (chopped)

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast:
   In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.

2. Make the Dough:
   In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the flour, olive oil, yogurt, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

3. Let It Rise:
   Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled container, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

4. Prepare the Dough Balls:
   Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough into 9-10 equal parts and roll each into a ball.

5. Add the Cheese:
   Flatten one ball, place shredded cheese in the center, and pinch the edges to seal. Roll it out again gently. Repeat for all dough balls.

6. Cook the Naan:
   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly brush with olive oil. Cook each naan for 20-30 seconds per side until puffed and golden.

7. Make the Garlic Butter:
   In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the minced garlic and parsley. Stir for a minute, then remove from heat.

8. Brush and Serve:
   Brush the hot naan with garlic butter. Serve warm and enjoy!
