Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 200g self-raising flour
- 180g Greek yoghurt
For the Filling
- 12 pieces La Vache Qui Rit cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt. Mix thoroughly, then knead the mixture for several minutes until it forms a soft dough. If the dough is sticky, gradually add more self-raising flour. Cover the dough and set it aside to rest.
- Prepare the Cheese Filling: While the dough rests, combine the La Vache Qui Rit cheese in a small bowl using a fork to mash it into a smooth mixture. Optionally, additional fillings can be added at this stage.
- Shape the Naans: After 5 minutes of resting, divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape each into a ball. Flatten one ball into a small circle. Place a quarter of the cheese mixture in the center, then fold the dough around the cheese, pinching to seal it tightly. Flatten the ball into a medium oval or circle about 4-5 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
- Cook the Naan: Heat a dry frying pan over high heat. Carefully place one naan onto the pan and cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until the naan is golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining naans.
- Serve: Remove the cooked naans from the pan and serve them warm, garnished with fresh coriander and drizzled with chilli oil for extra flavor. Enjoy your cheesy naans!
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, gradually add more self-raising flour until manageable.
- You can customize the filling by adding herbs, spices, or other cheeses along with La Vache Qui Rit.
- Cooking on high heat ensures a nice golden crust but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor; reheating in a pan is recommended rather than a microwave.
- Use a non-stick or well-seasoned frying pan for best results to prevent sticking.
