Garlic & Cheese Naan

This recipe is based on the wonderful recipe from Lailah (Thermomumma). I used a Thermomix to make the Naan dough. You could do this by hand too.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 cloves garlic
• 300g water
• 2 teaspoons instant dried Yeast
• 500g white Bakers flour (I used Coles brand plain flour)
• 20g oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Cheese, grated (filling)
• Ghee/ butter, (filling)

Method:

1. Place garlic cloves in bowl & chop 3 seconds, speed 9.
2. Add water, yeast, flour, oil & salt to bowl. Combine 15 seconds, speed 3. Then knead 6 minutes dough function.
3. Transfer dough to a Thermomat or oiled bowl & cover with a tea-towel. Let this sit & rest for 15 minutes before working with it.
4. Turn dough out, divide into 6-8 portions & roll into balls. Cover with a tea-towel to stop the dough from drying out.
5. On a well floured bench take one of the balls & roll/flatten out to the size of your hand. Place some fillings in the centre & bring the edges up & pinch together so the fillings are enclosed tightly in a ball.
6. Turn your dough over so the seam is facing downwards, now roll out nice & thin.
7. Cook in a dry pan on a medium heat, once done lather on both sides with some ghee/butter.
8. Continue the process until all Naan breads are cooked.
