Creamy Chocolate Naan
This recipe is a reimagining of a true dessert classic in naan form: chocolate and cream melt together into a rich, soft cream that is gently enveloped by the naan dough. As the naan bakes, the chocolate caramelizes slightly, providing an even more intense flavour experience. The dough is easy to make, and the chocolate cream comes together in minutes. Perfect for entertaining guests, a festive dessert, or just rewarding yourself at the end of a long day. Tip: it goes particularly well with vanilla ice cream or cold whipped cream – making it a truly premium dessert experience!

Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt – this forms the base of the dough.
2
Add the yogurt, lukewarm water, and olive oil. Knead until you have a smooth dough – knead by hand for about 10 minutes, until it becomes elastic.
3
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Meanwhile, gently heat the heavy cream, then add the chopped chocolate and stir until smooth – this will be the creamy filling.
5
Divide the dough into 6 portions, form into balls, then roll out into oval shapes on a floured surface.
6
Spread a spoonful of chocolate cream on one side of each dough oval, then fold in half and gently press down the edges to seal.
7
Cook the naans in a hot, non-stick skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear.
8
Brush with melted butter as soon as they are cooked – this will make them shinier and even more delicious.
9
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tip: You can prepare the chocolate filling in advance and use it chilled. Don't use too much cream, as it may leak out during cooking.
