Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

1. Prepare the yeast mixture: Add 1 tsp of granulated sugar to 2/3 cup of warm milk and stir. Then sprinkle 2 tsp of dry yeast and stir again. Set aside for about 5 minutes until it gets foamy.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

2. Mix the ingredients: In a standing mixer bowl, add 2 cups of bread flour, 2 tbsp of plain yogurt, 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1/2 tsp of salt, and the yeast mixture. Mix to incorporate all ingredients and then knead for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
3. Let the dough rise: Form the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl. Coat the dough with some oil to prevent a crust from forming. Cover the bowl tightly with cling film and leave it in a warm, draft-free place until the dough doubles in size.

Step 3: Shape and Fill the Dough

4. Prepare the dough balls: Flour the working surface and place the risen dough on it. Lightly knead it into a log and cut it into 4 equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball.
5. Roll and fill: Take 1 ball and roll it into a round disk. Place some chopped chives in the center, followed by shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Wrap the filling with the edges of the dough and pinch the seams together.
6. Prepare the coriander topping: Lightly wet the top surface of the ball with some water and then dip it in a plate containing chopped coriander leaves. Place the ball seam side down on the working surface and roll it into an oval shape of 5×8 inches (13×20 cm). Place the rolled dough on a lightly floured baking tray and repeat with the remaining balls.

Step 4: Cook the Naan

7. Heat the skillet: Heat an iron cast skillet on medium-high heat until it’s smoking.
8. Cook the naan: Place the rolled dough coriander side down onto the skillet and cook for 1 ½ minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and brush with some oil or melted butter. Cover with a kitchen cloth to keep warm while you cook the remaining naan breads.

Serving

9. Serve warm: Best served warm, these cheese-stuffed naan breads are perfect as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!

Tips

• Ensure proper dough rise: Make sure to let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free environment to achieve the best texture.
• Use fresh herbs: Fresh chives and coriander add a burst of flavor, but dried herbs can be used in a pinch.
• Adjust the filling: Feel free to experiment with different cheese types and additional fillings like spinach or cooked mushrooms.

Conclusion

These Cheese Stuffed Naan Breads are a delightful addition to any meal. With their soft, fluffy texture and flavorful, cheesy filling, they are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy making and eating this delicious treat!

Cook the Spinach:

Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a separate pan.

Classic French Milk Buns

Ingredients

For the Buns:

• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
• 2¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon (3g) salt

Detailed Instructions

Preparing the Dough

1. Begin by warming the milk to approximately 110°F (43°C). The milk should feel warm to the touch but not hot – think bath water temperature.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten. Add the warm milk and whisk to combine.
3. Gradually add the flour, sugar, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix initially with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Kneading and First Rise

1. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. It will be sticky at first – this is normal.
2. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. As you knead, the dough will become smoother and more elastic. You’ll know it’s ready when it springs back when lightly pressed.
3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Shaping and Second Rise

1. After the first rise, gently punch down the dough to release air bubbles.
2. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. I use a bench scraper for clean cuts.
3. Shape each portion into a smooth ball by pulling the edges toward the center and pinching to seal.
4. Place the shaped buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
5. Cover loosely and let rise again for 30-45 minutes, until noticeably puffy.

Baking

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the buns are on their second rise.
2. For a golden crust, brush the tops gently with a little milk.
3. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the buns are lightly golden on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
4. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Success

2. Don’t add extra flour too quickly – the dough should be slightly sticky
3. The longer you knead, the more tender your buns will be
4. A warm, draft-free spot is ideal for rising – I use my turned-off oven with just the light on

2. Shaping the Pastries

Prepare the Dough:
Press the dough into a bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour in 1 tablespoon of melted butter and knead until the butter is fully absorbed into the dough.

Let it Rise:
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Divide and Shape:
Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Let the dough balls rest for a few minutes.

Create Flower Shapes:
Roll out each dough ball into a thin roll and then shape them into flowers or any desired shape.

3. Baking or Frying

Frying the Pastries:
Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the shaped dough until golden brown on both sides. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain the fried pastries on paper towels to remove excess oil.

• Eggs
• Light cream
• Greek yogurt
• Mayonnaise
• Salt and paprika

1. Carefully pour the cream mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring even distribution.

Cooking Process

1. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
2. Cook on medium-low heat for 7-8 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
