Cheesy Chilli Naan Bread Recipe Foodcom

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Sprinkle the breads with a little water, then top with grated cheddar and chilli. Bake on the oven racks for 5 mins until the cheese has melted, then remove and scatter with the coriander.
• Cut into quarters and serve.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the butter and milk and microwave for 50 seconds.
• Mix with a spatula until the butter is completely melted.
• Add the active dry yeast and mix well. Add the salt and sugar and mix well.
• Fold in the bread flour and cake flour until fully incorporated and microwave for 20 seconds.
• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide it into 6 pieces. Take a piece and roll it into a ball. Roll it out to a round about ⅛ inch (3-mm) thick using a rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Put a third of the cheese into the center of the dough. Top with another dough round and crimp the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining cheese and dough.
• Heat a medium nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add a filled naan round and cook for 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Flip the naan bread, then use a spatula to flatten and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook the remaining naan.
• Slice into wedges and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put the milk in a bowl. Add 1tsp of sugar and the yeast. Stir to mix. Set aside for 15-20 minutes or until the yeast has dissolved and the mixture is frothy.
• Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Add the remaining 1tsp sugar, the yeast mixture, 2tblsp vegetable oil and yogurt and egg. Mix to form a ball of dough.
• Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and satiny (I did this in a stand mixer). Form into a ball. Pour 1/4tsp oil into a large bowl and roll the ball of dough in it. Cover the bowl with clingfilm and set aside for 1 hour until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to it's hottest temperature. Put your heaviest baking tray to heat in the oven. Preheat your grill.
• Punch down the dough and knead again. Divide into six equal balls. Keep covered when not working with the balls of dough. Roll the ball of dough into a tear-shaped naan, about 25cm long and 13cm wide at it's widest point.
• Remove the tray from the oven and slap a naan on it. Put in the oven for 3 minutes, it will puff up. Now place the tray under the grill for about 30 seconds to brown slightly (I didn't bother with this as my naan browned in the oven). Wrap the naans in a tea towel or foil. Make all the naans this way. Serve hot.
• I kept them warm wrapped in foil in a turned off warm oven, you can reheat them in the microwave for 40 seconds or so.

Steps:

• Put the flour in a large bowl, then add the sugar, baking powder and 1½ tsp salt. Add the seeds, if you like. Lightly whisk to disperse the ingredients evenly throughout the flour.
• Add 1 tbsp of the melted butter, followed by the natural yogurt. Mix together with your hands. Once the yogurt and butter have been absorbed, gradually add 180-200ml water, 50ml at a time. Mix between additions, until it begins to come together into a dough. The water amount will depend on the consistency of the yogurt and butter - stop adding when you have a ball of dough.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead thoroughly for 5 mins until smooth and elastic. Put in an oiled mixing bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for at least 1 hr. The dough will not rise but it is important to let it rest as this helps to make the naans less chewy and more fluffy.
• If making the garlic butter, mix the garlic with the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter and the coriander. Set aside.
• Divide the dough into eight, 10 or 12 even-sized pieces, depending on how big you want the naans. Roll into round balls, then return to the bowl, covered with a tea towel.
• Roll one of the dough balls out on a lightly floured surface into a round, oval or teardrop shape - roll with a diagonal motion to get an oval. Flip the dough over and repeat on the other side.
• Heat a frying pan. Dry fry the dough over a medium high heat until it begins to puff up and the underside browns in places. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove the cooked naan from the pan. Spoon a little of the garlic butter over the naan, if using. Sprinkle over some coriander, if you like. Cover with a tea towel while you repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix together the four cheeses and Italian seasoning in a bowl. Place the naan on a sheet pan and spread each piece with a tablespoon of the pesto. Spread the cheese mixture on the naan. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly and lightly golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Sprinkle with pepper flakes, if using.

Steps:

• Dry roast the seeds until aromatic.
• Crush them coarsely using a Mortar and pestle, or use that coffee grinder that has been lying around unused for a while now :).
• Put them into a pan with the water and bring it to a boil. Set aside.
• Put the yogurt into another bowl, add the yeast. Pour the seeds+water mixture and stir well.
• Add 1-1/2 cups of flour and stir it well until blended. Cover the bowl and let it prove for 30minutes.
• Then add the salt, oil and the remaining flour. Knead it well on a lightly floured surface until smooth and place it back in the bowl. Cover it and let it double - approx 1 hour.
• Then punch it down, turn it down on a lightly floured surface and slowly add in the chopped cilantro into the dough.
• Divide the dough into small balls and then using a rolling pin, roll it out into oblong shapes.
• On a skillet, place the naan, brush it with little oil.
• once its done on one side, turn it the other side.
