Guest Recipe: Lailah’s Garlic, Cheese & Spinach Naan

Sharing is caring!

We get asked so often in Skinnymixers… ‘What’s the best Thermomix Naan Bread recipe?‘

Our answer is always ‘definitely Lailah’s Garlic, Cheese & Spinach Naan!’.

This recipe is 10/10 FANTASTIC. I am so appreciative to Lailah Rose for allowing me to blog it.

The Skinnymixers Facebook Community has been loving this Thermomix Naan recipe for years now. 

Here are some of the best tips or hacks for the perfect Naan.

• If you need Gluten Free Naan – use GF Laucke Bread flour as a straight swap.
• Make sure your rolling surface and hands are covered in flour, this helps if your dough is a little too sticky.
• Feel free to change the fillings – if you don’t like spinach… no problem!
• Nigella Seeds can be difficult to come by. Grandma’s Pantry Online stocks them and your local Indian Supermarket or The Source Bulk Foods should also have them.

Instructions

• Add garlic cloves to mixer bowl, chop for 3 sec/speed 9/MC on.
• Add yeast, bakers flour, oil, salt and water in that order to mixer bowl. Combine for 15 sec/speed 3/MC on. Then 6 min/knead/MC on. Dont leave your thermy alone during this step.
• Allow your dough to rest for 15 min in thermy, oiled bowl or thermo mat.
• Preheat a pan to medium heat.
• On a floured surface, cut your dough into 6 or 8 balls. Set aside, covered with a tea towel.
• On a well floured bench, take one of the balls and roll it out to the size of your hand.
• Place a small handful of chopped spinach and cheese in the centre.
  
• Pinch the sides up to enclose the spinach and cheese inside the dough ball.
  
• Turn your dough over, so the seam is on the bottom, and roll your dough out thin. Sprinkle with flour if needed. Sprinkle with nigella seeds if using.
• Heat a heavy skillet or fry pan on medium heat. Place one naan and cook for 1–2 min until bubbles form. Flip and cook for a further 1–2 min, pressing down lightly for even cooking. For a charred look, briefly place the naan directly over a gas flame after cooking.
• Repeat process for remaining naans.
• After cooking each naan, wrap in a tea towel. Before serving, lather in butter or ghee if desired.
