Notes
- You could replace bread flour with all purpose flour.
- Flours are very different; you may end up adding between 85-100 gram milk/water.
- You could use water instead of milk.
- When baking the naan, be patient. Keep the heat level to low to medium to avoid charring.
- Cheese amount could be varied. I added the whole bag of cheese
