Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 6 naan breads

🛒 Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Filling

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Garlic Butter

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
    Add warm water, yogurt, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough:
    Knead the dough for about 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
    Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 45–60 minutes
    until slightly puffed.
  3. Divide the Dough:
    Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
  4. Add the Cheese Filling:
    Flatten each dough ball into a small circle. Place a mixture of mozzarella
    and cheddar cheese in the center, then bring the edges together
    to seal the filling inside.
  5. Roll the Naan:
    Gently roll each filled dough ball into an oval or round naan shape.
  6. Cook the Naan:
    Heat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook each naan
    for about 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown with slightly charred spots.
  7. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
    Mix melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley.
  8. Finish and Serve:
    Brush the hot naan generously with garlic butter. Serve warm and enjoy
    the cheesy, garlicky goodness.
💡 Tips for Perfect Naan

  • Use a very hot pan to create the classic golden bubbles on the bread.
  • Add extra cheese if you want a gooier filling.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or chili flakes on top after brushing with garlic butter for extra flavor.
📦 Storage
Store leftover naan in an airtight container in the refrigerator
for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven before serving.
