In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt.
Mix with a spoon until clumps form, then use your hands to bring the dough together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until a smooth dough ball forms.
Divide the dough into 6 equal balls.
On a floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a small circle.
Place 20g of shredded low-fat cheese in the center of the dough.
Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese and pinch to seal completely.
Gently roll the stuffed dough ball back out into a flat, circular naan.
Place the naan in a non-stick pan coated with cooking spray over medium heat.
Cover with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Flip the naan, cover again, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until it puffs up and is golden brown on both sides.
Repeat the stuffing and cooking process for the remaining 5 naans.
Optionally, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Brush the finished naans with the garlic butter before serving.
Store cooled naan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side or wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven.
