1
In a mixing bowl, combine lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Mix well and cover for 7-8 minutes or until a bubbly foamy texture forms.
2
Add the flour, oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well, and knead for 3-4 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms.
3
Apply a few drops of oil to the dough, cover, and set aside for 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
FILLING
4
Wash, clean, and roughly chop the spinach.
5
Heat oil in a pan, and add chopped spinach, garlic paste, salt, black pepper, and crushed red peppers. Cook on medium heat until the spinach mixture is dry and all moisture is absorbed. Allow it to cool.
6
Once cooled, add the shredded cheese to the spinach mixture and mix well.
ASSEMBLY

Punch down the risen dough and knead again for 2 minutes. Divide it into medium-sized balls.
8
Roll each dough ball into a thick circle, place the spinach-cheese filling in the center, and fold the edges to form a stuffed ball. Flatten with your fingers and then roll into an oval-shaped naan.
