Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix warm water with sugar and yeast; let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In another bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually mix in the yeast mixture to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle, place cheese in the center, and fold to seal.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat (no oil needed). Cook each naan for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear.
- Immediately brush with melted butter mixed with minced garlic before serving.
