Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup full fat plain greek yogurt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 cups shredded gouda cheese
  • 5 tablespoons white sesame seeds
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 6 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Combine the milk, warmed to 100- 110 degrees F, with the honey and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let sit for 5 minutes, until bubbly on top.
  • Add the yogurt, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on medium speed until the dough is smooth and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 3 to 4 minutes. Cover the bowl and place in a warm spot until the dough doubles in size, about 1-2 hours. If not using right away, cover overnight in the fridge.
  • In a bowl, mix the freshly shredded Gouda with the sesame seeds.
  • When ready, punch it down and divide into 8 equal balls. Roll each round out into a 10-inch oval on a lightly floured surface. Add about 1/4 cup of cheese to the center. Fold up the dough around the cheese, pinching to seal it in. Gently re-roll the dough out into an 8-inch oval. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the naan with a bit of olive oil. Place the naan on the hot skillet for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then flip and repeat, until golden brown and delicious.
  • Remove from the skillet and wrap in a clean kitchen towel. Keep warm in a 250° oven. Repeat with the rest of the naan. Mince garlic and add to melted butter with a pinch of salt in a separate dish for serving.
  • Serve the naan warm, drizzled or dipped into the salty garlic butter.
