Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the butter and milk and microwave for 50 seconds.
  2. Mix with a spatula until the butter is completely melted.
  3. Add the active dry yeast and mix well. Add the salt and sugar and mix well.
  4. Fold in the bread flour and cake flour until fully incorporated and microwave for 20 seconds.
  5. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide it into 6 pieces. Take a piece and roll it into a ball. Roll it out to a round about ⅛ inch (3-mm) thick using a rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  6. Put a third of the cheese into the center of the dough. Top with another dough round and crimp the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining cheese and dough.
  7. Heat a medium nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add a filled naan round and cook for 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  8. Flip the naan bread, then use a spatula to flatten and cook for 3 minutes more. Cook the remaining naan.
  9. Slice into wedges and serve.
  10. Enjoy!
