Pear Stuffed Naan

A bold experiment that became a classic: the salty-sour naan dough meets the sweetness of ripe pear. During baking, the fruit sugar caramelizes, and the pear juice steams the dough from the inside. It's like a quick skillet pie, but with the characteristic chewiness of naan. Combined with cheese (e.g., gorgonzola), it's a true gourmet dish.

Instructions

Prepare the dough as usual: add yogurt, water, and oil to the mix of flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Knead and let rise for 60 minutes.

Tip: A good dough base is essential.
2

Dice the pear into 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) cubes and pat dry.

Tip: Moisture is the enemy of the dough when filling.
3

Roll out small circles, place pear in the center, seal into a ball, then carefully roll out again.

Tip: If the pear shows through, it's fine, it will caramelize.
4

Cook in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side. Brush with butter.

Tip: Butter adds shine and flavor.
