3-Ingredient Cheesy Naan Recipe

Introduction

These 3-Ingredient Cheesy Naan breads are quick, simple, and incredibly tasty. Made with just self-raising flour, Greek yoghurt, and creamy cheese, they’re perfect for a snack or to serve alongside your favorite dishes.

Ingredients

• 200g self-raising flour
• 180g Greek yoghurt
• 12 pieces La Vache Qui Rit cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt. Mix well, then knead for a few minutes until you achieve a soft dough. If the dough feels sticky, add a little more flour. Cover the dough and set it aside to rest.
2. Step 2: While the dough is resting, mash the cheese in a small bowl using a fork. You can add other fillings like herbs or spices if you wish.
3. Step 3: After about 5 minutes, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll 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 and pinch to seal. Gently flatten the filled dough ball into an oval or circle about 4-5 inches wide. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.
4. Step 4: Heat a dry frying pan on high. Place one naan in the pan and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining naans. Serve warm with coriander and chilli oil if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For a flavorful twist, add finely chopped garlic, fresh coriander, or chili flakes to the cheese filling before sealing the dough.
• If you prefer a softer naan, cook on medium heat and cover the pan briefly while cooking to retain moisture.
• Use other soft cheeses like feta or mozzarella as a substitute for a different taste.

Storage

Store leftover naan in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep longer, refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat by warming in a pan over low heat or in a toaster oven until heated through.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of self-raising flour?

Yes, but you’ll need to add baking powder (around 2 teaspoons) to help the dough rise since regular flour doesn’t contain leavening agents.

What can I serve with cheesy naan?

Cheesy naan pairs well with curries, dips like hummus or raita, or can be enjoyed simply dipped in chilli oil or garlic butter.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dough

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

Filling

• 12 pieces La Vache Qui Rit cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt. Mix together thoroughly, then knead for a few minutes until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more 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 can add additional fillings here if desired.
3. Shape the Naans: After resting for 5 minutes, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Take one ball and flatten it into a small circle using your hands. Place a quarter of the cheese mixture in the center, then fold and pinch the dough around the cheese to seal it inside. Flatten the stuffed dough ball into an oval or circle about 4-5 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining dough and cheese.
4. Cook the Naans: Heat a dry frying pan over high heat. Place one naan in the hot pan and fry each side for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with all naans. Remove from the pan and serve hot, garnished with coriander and chili oil if desired. Enjoy your cheesy naan!

Notes

• Use self-raising flour to help the naan rise and become fluffy without yeast.
• If the dough is sticky, add flour gradually to avoid dryness.
• You can customize the filling by adding herbs or spices to the cheese mixture.
• Cook the naans on high heat to get a nice golden crust while keeping the inside soft.
• Serve fresh for best taste and texture.
