How To Make Cheesy Garlic Naan Bread
- Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add the warm water, yogurt, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–6 minutes until smooth.
- Let the Dough Rise
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a towel.
- Allow it to rest in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until slightly puffed.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, combine:
- melted butter
- minced garlic
- chopped parsley
- salt
- Mix well and set aside.
- Shape the Naan
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a small circle (about 6 inches wide).
- Place 2–3 tablespoons of shredded cheese in the center. Fold the dough over the cheese and gently roll it out again to form a flat oval.
- Cook the Naan
- Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Place one naan in the hot pan and cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles form.
- Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden spots appear.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Add the Garlic Butter
- Brush each hot naan generously with the prepared garlic butter mixture.
- Serve warm while the cheese inside is melted and stretchy.
