Looking for a low-carb, gluten-free, and keto-friendly alternative to traditional bread? This soft and fluffy naan is perfect for scooping up curries, making sandwiches, or enjoying as a side with dips! It’s easy to make and has the perfect chewy, tender texture.
📝 Ingredients:
✔ 1 ½ cups almond flour (the base for a soft, low-carb dough)
✔ ¼ cup coconut flour (adds structure and absorbency)
✔ ½ teaspoon baking powder (helps the naan rise slightly)
✔ ½ teaspoon salt (for flavor)
✔ 2 large eggs (binds the dough and adds richness)
✔ ¼ cup Greek yogurt (adds moisture and a touch of tang)
👨🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add eggs and Greek yogurt, then mix until a soft dough forms.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture.
2️⃣ Shape the Naan:
- Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into an oval or round shape about ¼-inch thick.
3️⃣ Cook the Naan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
- Brush the naan with a little melted butter or olive oil.
- Cook each naan for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly puffed.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
- Brush with garlic butter or sprinkle with fresh herbs for extra flavor!
- Enjoy with curries, dips, or as a sandwich wrap.
💡 Tips & Variations:
✔ Want extra fluffiness? Add ½ teaspoon xanthan gum to improve texture.
✔ Dairy-free? Swap Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt.
✔ Garlic Butter Naan? Mix melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley, then brush over warm naan.
✔ Make it herbed? Add chopped cilantro or dried oregano to the dough.
