Ingredients

For the Naan dough

2 Cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
⅓ Cup Plain yogurt
2 tablespoon Oil

Cheese Filling

1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese (grated)
½ Cup Feta Cheese (crumbled)
¼ Cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
Melted Butter (to brush after baking)
Chili flakes (optional)
Black and White Sesame Seeds (For garnish (optional))

Instructions

Making the Naan Dough

In a mixing bowl add the flour, salt, sugar and baking soda. Give a mix. Then add yogurt and mix again.
Pour water little by little to make a smooth dough. You don't have to knead a lot. Just form a smooth dough.
Drizzle oil at the end and knead again. Once the dough is ready, cover with a wet kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Then fold the dough a few times, by lifting from one side and fold over the other side. Let the dough rest for an hour or 2.
Divide the dough into mini balls and let it rest for 10 minutes. Make sure to cover it to avoid it from drying.

Make the filling

In a bowl, add all the cheeses and if you want to add chili flakes in all the cheese bomb, then add the chili flakes with the cheese filling.

Shaping and Baking the Naan Cheese Bomb

Start preheating the oven to 400 F
Roll the mini balls and add the cheese in the center. If you want to make it spicy, add chili flakes too.
Then bring the edges together and seal tight to form a round ball. Gently roll it around on the counter as shown in the video to make the seal close smoothly, and it also shapes the naan bombs very neatly.
Place the naan cheese bombs on a baking tray, brush a little oil on top and add a tiny amount of mixed sesame seeds and chili flakes.
Bake for 17 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye after 15 minutes as the baking time can depend on the type of oven and how the size of the naan bombs.
After baking, brush little melted butter and enjoy it warm.
