Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup plain yogurt
- 0.25 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Add the plain yogurt and warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough with your hands on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes to an hour to allow it to rise slightly.
Once rested, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Take one dough ball and roll it out into a round shape of about 6-8 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese onto one half of the rolled dough round.
Fold the naan to encase the cheese, pressing lightly around the edges to seal.
Gently roll the stuffed dough again, just enough to flatten slightly without letting the cheese spill out.
Place the rolled naan in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and puffed up.
Brush the cooked naan with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander leaves.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the cheese naan hot as a side with curries or as a delicious snack.
