We have some cheesy, gooey, soft naan that naan can resist. Wonderfully soft and puffy with brown blisters and all! And with the addition of Suncore Foods® Emerald Pandan Leaf Powder, this naan takes on a new level of fun that is hard to turn down--not that within these addictively chewy flatbreads is a gooey cheesy center that already makes it irresistible. Absolutely delicious on their own, but fantastic paired with stews and sauces. Watch this cheesy bread come together in our recipe video!
[ingredients]
Makes 6-8 naans
1 cup warm water
3 tsp dry active yeast
1 tbsp sugar
2.5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1.2 tsp garlic powder
3.5 tbsp Suncore Foods® Emerald Pandan Leaf Powder
2 tbsp olive oil (+ more for brushing)
¼ cup plain yogurt
¼ - ½ cup grated cheese per naan
Optional – butter to serve
[/ingredients]
1. Combine water, yeast, and sugar. Set aside until doubled in size, approximately 10-12 minutes. 2. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, garlic powder, and Suncore Foods® Emerald Pandan Leaf Powder. 3. Add the water-yeast mixture to the dry ingredients along with olive oil and yogurt. Mix well and form a dough ball. 4. Lightly oil the inside of a clean bowl and place the dough ball into the bowl. Cover and proof for 1 hour. 5. Punch the dough to release air and divide the dough into 6-8 round portions. Brush each portion with olive oil. 6. Using a rolling pin, roll out each portion and place some cheese in the center of the rolled-out naan. Fold in each side, enclosing the cheese within. Gently roll the dough again, flattening it as much as possible without breaking the skin. 7. Place a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add some oil and spread it around evenly. Place the naan in the pan and cook for 2-4 minutes on both sides until the air bubbles are golden-brown and the naan is cooked through. 8. Note on air bubbles – the more cheese you use the fewer the air bubbles will be. Using ½ cup of cheese will have 0 air bubbles. This is okay! [/directions]
