🛒 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.
