Chili Chocolate Naan
Naan bread is traditionally a savory dish, but this sweet and spicy version is increasingly popular in new-wave fusion cuisine. Chili chocolate naan is a perfect example of how to combine flavors from different cultures. As the chocolate melts inside the hot dough and mixes with the spiciness of the chili, the aromas already reveal that something truly special is being prepared. Tip: use chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content, as it withstands the heat better and gives a more intense flavor. Always add chili carefully – a little goes a long way. This naan is a perfect choice as a dessert, the conclusion of a special dinner, or to impress guests. You can pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an even greater impact.

Preparation Steps
1
Chop the dark chocolate into smaller pieces for easier melting within the dough. Mix with the ground chili to create the spicy filling.
2
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. This forms the base for the dough.
3
Add the yogurt, lukewarm water, and olive oil. Mix, then knead until a smooth dough forms.
4
Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If it's too soft, adjust with a little flour.
5
Cover and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until doubled in size. This allows the dough to become light and airy.
6
Divide the risen dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then roll them out into an oval shape.
7
Place the chili chocolate mixture on one half of each oval, then fold the other half over and gently press down to seal. Lightly roll out again.
8
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the naans for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and the chocolate is melted.
9
Once cooked, brush generously with melted butter while still hot. The combination of chocolate and chili creates a spicy and sweet flavor.
10
Serve immediately, while warm. Perfect as a dessert or a special sweet treat!
