Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 cup Plain yogurt
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yogurt, warm water, and olive oil.

Step 3

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until a rough dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a bit more water.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Divide the dough into six equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 6

Take one dough ball at a time and roll it out into a 1/4 inch thick oval or circle using a rolling pin.

Step 7

Place approximately 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese onto one half of the rolled-out dough. Fold the other half over to enclose the cheese, forming a semi-circle. Press the edges firmly to seal.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the prepared naan on the skillet.

Step 9

Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese has melted inside.

Step 10

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic.

Step 11

Brush the freshly cooked naan with the garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped coriander.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining dough balls and serve warm.
