Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or paneer)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and yogurt. Gradually add warm water while stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide into equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly.
- Place shredded cheese in the center of each piece, fold the edges over to seal, then roll out gently to about half an inch thick.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat without oil; cook each naan for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Brush with melted butter mixed with minced garlic after cooking.
