Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.33 cup Plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 cup Almonds (blanched and finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Golden raisins
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Add the warm water, milk, sugar, and yeast to the bread machine pan. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast starts to foam.

Step 2

Add the yogurt, vegetable oil, and salt to the pan.

Step 3

Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder together. Gradually add the flour mixture into the bread machine pan.

Step 4

Set the bread machine to the dough setting and start it. Let the machine knead and allow the dough to rise as per the machine’s program (usually about 1.5 hours).

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the Peshawari filling by mixing the shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and golden raisins in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 6

Once the dough is ready, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape into balls.

Step 7

Flatten one ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the Peshawari filling in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch it closed.

Step 8

Gently roll out the filled dough ball into an oval or round naan shape, being careful not to tear the dough.

Step 9

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls and filling.

Step 10

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Cook each naan for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Press lightly with a spatula for even cooking.

Step 11

Remove the naan from the skillet and brush with melted butter while warm.

Step 12

Serve hot with your favorite curry or as a sweet treat.
