Chilli Cheese Naan
I love naan and this homemade version using Bob's Red Mill all purpose flour is so good. Have it with your favorite Indian curry or on its own.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour
- 2 1/4 tsp Bob's Red Mill Active Dry Yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup dahi or plain yogurt
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp red chili flakes for filling
- 1/4 cup coriander leaves chopped, for filling
- 1 tsp salt for filling
- 1-2 green chilies diced, for filling
- 1 cup amul cheese or mozzarella cheese shredded, for filling
- 3 tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Mix together sugar, warm water and active dry yeast. Leave for 10 minutes until yeast activates and is frothy.
- Using Bob's Red Mill flour, add in oil, yogurt, salt and yeast. Knead the dough well.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap or damp cloth. Keep in a warm place (oven) for an hour. The dough will double in size.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cheese, chillies, red pepper flakes, coriander leaves and salt. Set aside.
- Once dough has doubled in size, cut it into 6 equal pieces using a pastry scraper.
- Pour some flour onto a clean surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough until into a circle, 3 - 4 inches long.
- Sprinkle in chili cheese mixture in the middle and seal the edges. Continue rolling into oval shape until it is 6 - 8 inches long.
- Heat a cast iron or heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Place the dough in the hot skillet and cook until it puffs up/ bubbles and the bottom is browned or blistered in spots.
- Flip the naan and cook a few more minutes.
- Brush the cooked naan with melted butter. Serve warm.
