Cheese-Stuffed Naan Bread: the delicious recipe you’ll love

This cheese-stuffed naan bread is a cheesy variation of classic Indian naan bread. These breads are filled with a combination of cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese, which gives it more flavor than the classic. The result? Soft, pillowy naan with a cheesy center.

To make it, you add your dry ingredients such as flour, salt, yeast to your wet ingredients such as yogurt, oil, water, then mix, let the dough rest, fill it, and bake. As easy as that! You’ll love how delicious and filling they are!

How To Make Cheese-Stuffed Naan Bread

Start by mixing the yeast with warm water and sugar, and set aside until foamy (about 10 minutes). Once the mixture is foamy, mix it with the rest of the ingredients and knead to form a dough. Allow the dough to rest for 1 hour.

Divide the dough into pieces, then flatten slightly with a rolling pin. Fill with the two cheese and close the ball, pinching the edges. Flatten the ball again with a rolling pin, and bake until golden.

Brush the baked naan breads with a mixture of oil, minced garlic, salt, and parsley. Mix all together and brush the naan bread with the garlic mixture on both sides.
