Quick cheese naans

Ingredients

• 1 pizza dough
• 3–4 Laughing Cow cheese portions
• butter for cooking

Topping (optional):

• 20 g melted butter
• 1 crushed garlic clove
• 1 handful of chopped fresh parsley

Materials

• 1 rolling pin (optional)
• 1 brush (optional)

Preparation

• Unroll the pizza dough and place 3 to 4 Laughing Cow cheese portions on top (you'll need a little less than one portion per naan). Cut the dough into 4 pieces.
• Spread the Laughing Cow cheese in the center of each piece of dough and remove any excess if necessary. Fold the edges of the dough towards the center and press well to seal.
  
• Carefully roll out the naan using a rolling pin. Melt some butter in a pan.
• Cook the naans for 2 minutes on each side. You can cook them all at once if you wish.
  
• For the topping (optional but delicious):
  Mix the melted butter with the crushed garlic clove and chopped parsley, and brush it on top of the naans for extra flavor. And there you have it, it's ready! Treat yourself to our dahl recipe to enjoy with it :-D

Observations

Can I freeze cheese naans?
You can freeze your naans once cooked!

I don't have a rolling pin. What can I do?
You can use a glass bottle, for example, or a paper towel roll if it's sturdy enough.

I don't have Laughing Cow cheese. Can I use any spreadable cheese in the naans?
It's best to use Laughing Cow cheese, as it doesn't harden when cooled, unlike other traditional fresh cheeses.

The cheese is coming out of my bread while I'm rolling it out. What should I do?
Don't worry, the cheese won't leak out during cooking. It's not a problem if you have one or more holes in the dough.

Can I use homemade pizza dough?
Yes, you can, but this recipe is for when you're short on time. If you have time, it's better to make authentic naan dough. We have a recipe on our site: type "Cheese naans, Indian cheese breads" in the search bar to find it.

What can I serve with my naans?
You can eat them as they are as an appetizer or use them for dipping in spreads, for example. You can also serve them as a side with Indian dishes, such as red lentil dahl or tandoori chicken. You can find these recipes on our site, too.
