Cheese Naan
It's hot, it's spicy and it's oozing with cheese... What's not to love about Karan Gokani’s Chilli Cheese Stuffed Naan recipe? Combining a Naan bread style dough with a few ingredients all fired up the Roccbox, it’s super simple to make and incredibly satisfying to eat.
Ingredients
For the Dough
300g / 10.58oz 00 flour
¼ tsp (1.5g) baking powder
Small pinch (approx. 1/8 tsp or 0.3g) fast action dried yeast
8g / 0.28oz sugar
4g / 0.14oz salt
10g / 0.35oz rapeseed or sunflower oil
90g / 3.17oz whole milk
65g / 2.29oz Greek yoghurt
40-45g / 1.41oz water
For the Naan
1 x Naan Dough recipe (above)
150g / 5.29oz grated medium cheddar
4 green chillies, finely chopped
2.5 tbsp coriander leaves, roughly chopped (optional)
Chaat masala (optional)
1 tbsp nigella seeds
Step 1:
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the milk, oil, yoghurt and mix well. Then slowly add the water and stop adding any more when the dough begins to feel sticky.
Step 2:
Knead well for 10-15 minutes to achieve a soft supple dough that doesn’t stick to your hands at all when worked.
Step 3:
Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with clingfilm. Rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
Step 4:
After an hour, divide into 3 equal balls (100g) and place and cover tightly with clingfilm. Refrigerate overnight.
Step 5:
Remove and bring to room temperature for 1.5-2 hours until well risen and almost doubled in size.
Step 6:
Roll out each ball into a 5 inch disc that’s thicker in the centre and thinner around the edges.
Step 7:
Place approx. 2 tbsp of cheddar, some chopped green chillies and a pinch of chaat masala in the centre of each ball. Bring the edges together and pinch together tightly until the cheese mix is sealed within.
Step 8:
Place the balls back in the tray, cover well and rest for 45 minutes - 1 hour until light and doubled in volume.
Step 9:
Press out into a circle using your fingers and palms. Rub some water over the top and sprinkle some nigella seeds over. Then place into a preheated Roccbox at 250°C using a peel. Cook for about 2.5 mins turning frequently and turning the flame down or off if it begins too char too much.
Step 10:
Turn your Goznney pizza oven off and leave the naan on the hot stone for a further minute.
Step 11:
Drizzle some ghee, chaat masala coriander leaves and chopped chillies over before serving.
