Instructions:
1. Make the Naan Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Add the warm milk, yogurt, and oil to the dry ingredients. Gradually add warm water to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a splash more water.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
2. Prepare the Cheese Filling:
In a bowl, mix the grated cheese, chopped cilantro, and chili flakes (if using) until well combined.
3. Divide the Dough:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6-8 small portions (depending on how large you want your naan).
4. Stuff the Naan:
Roll out one portion of dough into a small circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the center.
Carefully bring the edges of the dough together, pinching them to seal the cheese inside, forming a ball.
Gently roll out the stuffed dough ball into a flat, oval shape, being careful not to let the cheese escape.
5. Cook the Naan:
Heat a cast-iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. You can also use a tandoor if you have one!
Place the stuffed naan onto the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form.
Flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
Brush the cooked naan with butter or ghee.
6. Serve:
Serve your Cheese-Stuffed Naan Bread warm, with curries, dips, or on its own as a delicious snack.
Tips:
If you want the cheese to be extra gooey, use a combination of mozzarella and a sharper cheese like cheddar or paneer.
You can add garlic or other herbs to the dough or filling for extra flavor.
These Cheese-Stuffed Naan Breads are soft, cheesy, and full of flavor. Enjoy them fresh out of the pan, and you’re in for a treat!
