Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro optional
  • Extra melted butter for brushing

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
  2. Add the yogurt and milk to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
  5. Roll each ball into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  7. While the naan is still warm, brush with melted butter and sprinkle minced garlic and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  8. Cover the naan with a lid for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  9. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve warm.
