Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Coconut cream
• 50 grams Desiccated coconut
• 50 grams Ground almonds
• 50 grams Raisins
• 25 grams Chopped pistachios
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing the desiccated coconut, ground almonds, raisins, chopped pistachios, and 2 tablespoons of coconut cream in a bowl. Add 0.25 teaspoon salt and mix thoroughly.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into four equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a circle approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Place a quarter of the filling mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Step 9

Bring the edges of the dough together, sealing the filling inside. Flatten the stuffed dough gently with your hands, ensuring it doesn't burst.

Step 10

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each stuffed dough ball into a 1/4-inch thick circle.

Step 11

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Cook the naan for about 2 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to appear.

Step 12

Flip the naan and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until golden brown spots form.

Step 13

Brush with additional olive oil if desired and serve warm.
