Servings 10 Naan bread
Calories 284kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 10 g (2¼tsp) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4-5 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tsp crushed garlic (optional)
- Sesame seeds to serve
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the water, yeast and sugar. Mix to combine then allow to stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt and start mixing with the dough hook.
- Add the yogurt and allow to knead for 5 minutes. The dough needs to be soft and smooth. If it is too sticky, add a little flour and if it is too dry, add a splash of water/milk and mix through.
- Form the dough into a smooth ball then place in an oiled bowl. Cover with cling film and place in a warm spot to rise for 45-60 minutes (or until doubled in size).
- When the dough has risen, remove from the bowl and place on a floured surface.
- Cut into 10 equal pieces and press into a rough circle. Add a few spoonfuls of cheese and a pinch of chilli flakes. Bring all the corners up into the center and pinch together. Gently roll the Naan out until 1cm thick.
- Heat a large skillet or pan over high heat. Add the naan, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. This version won't puff up quite as much as plain Naan because of the cheese filling.
- Mix together the butter and garlic and set aside.
- Remove from the heat and brush with melted butter and sprinkle over sesame seeds.
- Wrap in foil until ready to serve.
