Ready to bake? Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (full-fat is best!)
- 2 tablespoons milk of your choice (unsweetened almond milk works great)
- 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour (not almond meal!)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- Melted butter (optional)
- Minced garlic (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the mozzarella cheese with milk until smooth.
- Transfer the cheese mixture to a large bowl and let it cool slightly (about 2 minutes).
- Stir in the almond flour, eggs, and baking powder until you have a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape them into rough circles.
- Place the naan on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Let cool for 10 minutes, then brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic (if desired).
Tips for keto naan perfection:
- Use cool dough when mixing in the eggs and almond flour. Hot dough will cook prematurely, preventing the naan from rising properly.
- For extra fluffiness, form the dough into balls instead of flattening them. They’ll bake the same but have a lighter texture inside.
- Get creative with toppings! Try herbs, spices, or even a sprinkle of Everything Bagel Seasoning.
- Leftover naan can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to 2 months.
This keto naan recipe is a game-changer for low-carb Indian food lovers! So ditch the guilt and indulge in the warm, comforting flavor of naan, keto-style.
