Cheesy Garlic Naan

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!
