Cheese Naans

Ingredients

• 150 ml Lukewarm water
• 1 sachet Active dry yeast (The text indicates 5/7 g (an ambiguous quantity, probably 5 to 7 g).)
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 150 g Greek yogurt (Can be replaced with fromage blanc or plain yogurt.)
• 500 g Flour (A little extra for flouring the cheese, quantity unspecified.)
• 40 ml Neutral oil or olive oil (The text also indicates that butter can be used instead.)
• Salt (A pinch, according to the transcript.)
• Melting cheeses (Two portions per naan, triangles or squares; mozzarella is also mentioned. Total quantity and type unspecified.)
• Butter (For the finishing mixture to brush over the naans; quantity unspecified.)
• Parsley (For the finishing mixture; quantity unspecified.)
• Garlic (For the finishing mixture, mentioned in the transcript; quantity unspecified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Pour the lukewarm water into a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the sugar and yeast, mix, cover, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes, until the mixture becomes foamy.

2. 2

   Add the Greek yogurt, flour, oil, and a pinch of salt. Knead by hand or with a mixer for 5 minutes, until you obtain a soft dough that is not sticky or only slightly sticky.

3. 3

   Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

4. 4

   Punch down the dough, then divide it into 8 portions.

5. 5

   Flatten one portion slightly, without rolling it out too much. Generously flour two portions of cheese, place them in the center, and carefully seal the dough by pinching the edges together. Repeat with the remaining portions.

6. 6

   Let the filled naans rest for 30 minutes before rolling them out.

7. 7

   Gently and carefully roll out each naan to the desired thickness.

8. 8

   Heat a pan until very hot. Place a naan in the pan and cook the first side for 30 seconds without turning it.

9. 9

   Turn the naan twice; let it puff up, then continue turning it until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining naans.

10. 10

    Mix the butter with the parsley and garlic, then immediately brush the cooked naans with it. Serve.

Notes

The source does not specify the quantity or exact type of cheese, salt, butter, parsley, or garlic for finishing. It also does not give a complete cooking time; cook until each naan is cooked through and puffed.
