Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Naan<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t

**For the Dough:**<\/h4>
  • 2 tablespoons warm water<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar<\/li>
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast<\/li>
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (add 1-2 tablespoons more if dough is sticky)<\/li>
  • 1\/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt<\/li>
  • 2\/3 cup warm water<\/li>
  • 1\/4 cup olive oil<\/li>
  • 1 1\/2 teaspoons salt<\/li>
  • Vegetable oil or ghee for cooking the naan<\/li><\/ul>

    **For the Garlic Butter:**<\/h4>
    • 1\/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)<\/li>
    • 2 teaspoons minced garlic<\/li>
    • 1\/4 teaspoon salt (more to taste)<\/li>
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro<\/li><\/ul>

      **For the Cheese Filling:**<\/h4>
      • Shredded mozzarella cheese<\/li>
      • Grated parmesan cheese<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
        \n\t\t
        1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of warm water and 1 teaspoon of white sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Cover and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes fluffy and bubbly, indicating that the yeast is activated.<\/li>
        2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, plain yogurt, warm water, olive oil, salt, and the proofed yeast. Use a stand mixer with the hook attachment or a wooden spoon to bring the dough together. Knead for about 1 minute until the dough is smooth.<\/li>
        3. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and a warm damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, which usually takes about 1 to 1 1\/2 hours.<\/li>
        4. While the dough rises, prepare the garlic butter by mixing together melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Set aside.<\/li>
        5. Once the dough has doubled in size, divide it into 7 to 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion slightly on an oiled surface and place about 1\/4 cup of shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese in the center. Seal the edges tightly to form a ball, then roll it out thinly without tearing.<\/li>
        6. Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Cook each stuffed naan on one side until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough.<\/li>
        7. Brush the cooked naan with garlic cilantro butter on both sides, or just one side if preferred. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy goodness!<\/li>
        8. To reheat, simply toast the naan on a hot pan for about a minute on each side. Get ready to savor every cheesy bite!<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
