- Flatten the dough. Brush some water or oil all over the dough. Cover the bowl and allow to leaven the dough for 2 hours.
Assembling, rolling and stuffing cheese naan
- After 2 hours grate cheese and keep aside. You will need 1 cup grated cheese. You can use cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese or processed cheese.
- Make medium sized balls from the dough.
- Dust some flour on the dough ball.
- Roll in to a 5 to 6 inches diameter circle.
- Add 2 to 3 tablespoons grated cheese. You can even add less cheese if you want. But it will be like a cheese flavoured naan and not cheese naan.
- Fold the edges from all around.
- Bring the edges in the center and then join them. Press the joined edges back on the dough.
- Dust some more flour and roll the cheese stuffed naan.
- Roll to 7 to 8 inches circle. brush some water on the side facing you.
- Sprinkle some nigella seeds or sesame seeds all over and press them with the brush or with your fingers, so that they stick to the naan.
Making cheese naan bread
- Now place the cheese naan with the nigella seeds side facing down on a hot tawa or skillet
- Roast naan on a medium-high to high flame. It will begin to puff up.
- When you see some blisters and the naan begins to puff up, flip it. Cook the other side.
- Flip again when this second side is cooked. You can flip a couple of times more for even roasting.
- Take them in a plate and spread some butter on top.
- Then cut the cheese naan bread in two or four pieces if serving immediately. Make all the naans this way. You can serve them hot or stack them in a roti basket or casserole and then serve later.
- Serve Cheese Snack as a snack or pair them with your Indian meals.
Notes
- Use fresh cheese and make sure it is not rancid or tastes bitter.
- You could make cheese naans with only whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour.
- Adding water as needed form a supple and soft dough.
- For the cheese, make the naans with processed cheese, mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese. You could even use any of your favorite cheese which melts on cooking.
- Make the recipe your own, by adding your preferred herbs (fresh or dried) and ground spices.
