Do you remember the garlic grass butter naan last week? Okay, you do?

Well, I have made naan a very simple grilled cheese, and well…

…that’s a very simple grilled cheese. That may be one of my most…

…straightforward recipes yet, but I knew I had to make that when…

…I thought about it while hiking last week. Sure, there’s probably…

…someone out there in the world already grilled naan bread…

…but I didn’t have it myself. So I checked it out of my list…

…and now I share it with you all. I may also be somewhat naan addicted….

Over the past few weeks, I have incorporated it in so many recipes….

It’s the best bread recipe at the moment… certainly.

I’m looking forward to delicious easy recettes with life….

…as busy as I have been in the past few months.

Sometimes this involves large salads, pancakes and pan dinners for bowls. ..

It’s a good grilled ole cheese other times….

Naan Grilled cheese is always the best with a certain tomato soup…

…but honestly with soup or no soup. It is made with naan particularly.

That really feels like a fun, garlic, herby twist on a favorite childhood…

Find a naan bread for yourself. It’s clearly my favorite recipe, but naan bought from the store also works very well.

Now mix with fresh garlic and fresh herbs a little garlic herb butter…

Spread the butter with the cheese on both sides of the naan grilled cheese…

I used a mixture of sharp Havarti cheddar and butter…

…but you can use anything you like the most.

Everything works as long as it is a cheese that melts…

With a sweet drizzle of honey and a pinch of flaky sea salt…

…I always finish my grilled sandwiches. It’s my small trick…

…which makes a naan grilled cheese better than any other one you had before.

Confide in me, honey + sea salt has to be done…

Here is what Melissa want to say…

As I discovered, naan grilled cheese has a friendly demeanor…

that allows it to get along with just about any group of ingredients.

As a result, it’s a terrific vehicle for whatever odd bits of roast chicken…

leftover grilled veggies, and assorted cheeses and herbs have reached…

the end of their freshness. If it sounds cost-effective…

you should realize that a package of four costs only $1.99.

Homemade naan grilled cheese bread , garlic butter, fresh herbs, and cheddar cheese are all cooked together to create a simple, but delicious grilled cheese sandwich. It’s garlicky and buttery on the outside, full of cheesy goodness inside, and takes just 15 minutes to make.

Next thing to note…


Freezing the Naan Grilled Cheese

Is it possible to make these garlic naan ahead of time and freeze them?

Yes, you certainly can!

Make the dough and let it rise before freezing….

The dough is then divided into equal portions and rolled out….

Place a sheet of parchment paper on top, followed with a rolled naan…

Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the rolled naan…

…then another naan on top of that.

Stack them one by one, with a sheet of parchment paper between each naan…

After stacking them all, place them in a freezer bag…

…and push out as much air as possible before freezing.

Making Naan Grilled Cheese Method

  • Combine 3.25 cups all-purpose flour (423 grams) and 1 teaspoon salt in a mixing basin. Remove it from the equation.
  • Pour lukewarm water into the steel bowl of your stand mixer, then add the sugar and yeast. Allow 5-10 minutes for it to flourish.
  • When the top of the mixture becomes bubbly and foamy, the yeast has been activated.
  • Stir in the lukewarm milk, yogurt, and oil once the yeast has been activated.
  • Stir in the flour mixture until everything is well blended.
  • Add the grated garlic as well. Begin to add the last 3-4 tablespoons of flour (27-36 grams). 1 tablespoon at a time, if the flour is too sticky, add more.
  • At this point, I added around 3-4 tablespoons flour. If you want the dough to be dry, don’t add any additional flour. It simply shouldn’t be sticky.
  • Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes with your hands or the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer until smooth. Place the dough in a greased mixing basin.
  • Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 60-90 minutes in a warm area. Pre-heat your oven for a few minutes if it’s chilly where you live, then turn it off. Then, with the oven turned off, lay the dough inside the oven. 10- The dough will have more than doubled in bulk after around 90 minutes. To release the air, lightly punch the dough.
  • Cut the dough into eight equal pieces (around 100-105 grams each). Because the dough will be sticky, grease your hands before splitting it. Allow the dough balls to rest for 10-15 minutes after covering them with a kitchen towel.
  • In the meantime, melt 3 tablespoons butter and stir in minced garlic and chopped cilantro. Garlic butter should be kept.
  • In a medium-high heat, heat an iron skillet. To create these naan, I highly recommend using an iron skillet. Make an oval form out of a dough ball, about 10 to 11 inches long and 6 inches broad. Before you try to roll the dough, brush it with a little oil. Also, lubricate your roller. Do not attempt to roll the dough like a tortilla, roti, or paratha. Simply stretch it both in length and width.
  • After dipping your finger in water, sprinkle nigella seeds on top. This is an optional step.
  • Carefully place the rolled naan in the hot skillet. Allow it to cook for a few minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface. At this stage, brush the naan with the garlic butter that has been prepared.
  • Remove the naan from the skillet with a tong, flip, and place directly on the burner. There will be a small splatter as the butter drips down – don’t worry, it’ll be OK.
  • Before you start cooking the naan, you can cover your burner with aluminum foil if you prefer.
  • You can alternatively skip this step and apply butter after the naan has been cooked. I prefer to use it twice to get a stronger garlic flavor.
  • Cook the garlic naan for 15-20 seconds (directly on gas) on both sides till golden brown.

To Cook Garlic Naan Grilled Cheese in Oven

To make the garlic naan in the oven, preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit…

Place the rolled naan on a baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes…

…or until golden brown. Remove the naan from the oven…

…and spread the garlic butter on top. If you wish…

…you can sear the naan by placing it in the broiler in the oven.


Sum Up

On my website, naan is one of the most popular Indian dishes….

Garlic Naan is a form of naan bread that is topped with minced garlic…

To create the bread, make the naan dough…

…set it aside to rest, and then divide it into 8 halves.

Use a cast iron skillet on the stovetop to cook the bread…

They can be made without using an oven…
