This simple and delicious 3-Ingredient Cheesy Naan recipe offers a quick way to enjoy soft, cheesy naan bread made with self-raising flour, Greek yoghurt, and creamy cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 180g Greek yoghurt

Filling

  • 12 pieces La Vache Qui Rit cheese (approximately 3 cheese triangles per naan)

Instructions

  1. Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt. Mix together, then knead the mixture for a few minutes until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, gradually add more self-raising flour. Once kneaded, cover the dough and set it aside to rest.
  2. Prepare the cheese filling: While the dough rests, place the La Vache Qui Rit cheese into a small bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth. You may add optional fillings here if desired.
  3. Shape the naans: After resting for 5 minutes, divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten one dough ball into a small circle using your hands. Place a quarter of the cheese mixture in the center, then fold the dough around the cheese, pinching to seal it tightly. Gently flatten the sealed dough ball into an oval or circle approximately 4-5 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.
  4. Cook the naans: Heat a dry frying pan over high heat. Place one naan in the pan and fry for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the surface is golden brown and cooked through. Repeat this frying process with the remaining naans.
  5. Serve: Remove the cooked naans from the pan and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh coriander and drizzle with chilli oil if desired. Enjoy your cheesy stuffed naan warm!

Notes

  • If the dough is too sticky, add more self-raising flour gradually until it reaches a manageable consistency.
  • You can customize the cheese filling by adding herbs, spices, or finely chopped vegetables.
  • Make sure the pan is hot before frying to achieve a nice golden crust.
  • Serve naans fresh and warm for the best texture and flavor.
  • Use a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet for even cooking and easier flipping.
