This is a type of filled naan. In this case, the filling is a fresh acid-set cheese paneer. The dough is made with yogurt, which makes for an extra pillowy and fluffy bread.
Ingredients
DOUGH
2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup (120 ml) lukewarm milk
1/2 cup (120g) yogurt
1/2 tsp sugar
butter, as required
salt, to taste
FILLING
2 cups (420g) grated paneer (or, cottage cheese)
1/2 cup (65g) finely chopped onion
pepper, to taste
coriander leaves, finely chopped
salt, to taste
Preparation
Combine all the ingredients for the filling in one bowl, then set the bowl aside.
Sieve flour, soda, and baking powder three times, place them in a large bowl, make a hole in the center, pour milk and yogurt into the hole, and add salt and sugar.
Knead until you have a dough, then cover the bowl with a cloth and let it rest for 3-4 hours.
Portion the dough into medium-sized balls and dust each lightly with flour.
Roll each into a thick circle. To assemble, put the filling in the center of the circle, then close it and roll over it gently so it does not break.
Butter the naans, then bake them in the oven preheated to 400°F/200°C for 10-15 minutes.
Halfway through baking, brush the naans with butter one more time and bake until golden brown.
Serve straight out of the oven.
