- 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons of milk any variety
- 1½ cups of almond flour
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 2 large eggs brought to room temperature
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a large baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan, melt the mozzarella cheese and milk together. Once melted, whisk to combine thoroughly.
Transfer the melted cheese mixture to a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool for about 2 minutes. Then, incorporate the almond flour, eggs, and baking powder, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
Knead the dough briefly with your hands, then divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each piece into a rough circle and place them on the prepared tray.
Bake the naan for 18-20 minutes, or until they have puffed up and achieved a golden-brown hue. After removing them from the oven, let them cool for 10 minutes. Optionally, you can brush them with garlic butter for added flavor.
Additional Notes:
- Garlic Butter: Combine 3 tablespoons of melted butter with 1 tablespoon of minced garlic for a flavorful topping.
- Storage: Keep any leftover naan in the refrigerator, covered, for up to one week.
- Freezing: To freeze, place the naan in ziplock bags or a shallow container. They will remain good for up to 2 months.
