Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Whey protein powder
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and whey protein powder. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Add the plain Greek yogurt and water to the dry mixture. Stir with a spatula until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough is sticky, add a bit more flour as needed.
Divide the dough into four equal parts and roll each piece into a ball.
Flatten each dough ball with a rolling pin into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle a quarter of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over half of each dough piece. Fold the dough over the cheese, pressing gently to seal the edges.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and one minced garlic clove, sautéing until the aroma of garlic is released (about 1 minute).
Place a filled naan into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the naan is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
Remove the cooked naan, brush lightly with the garlic oil from the skillet, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Repeat with the rest of the dough balls, adding more oil and garlic as needed. Serve warm and enjoy your high-protein cheese naan.
