Keto Naan Bread is a low-carb alternative to traditional naan bread, making it perfect for those following a ketogenic diet. This version uses almond flour and coconut flour instead of regular flour, which keeps the carb count low while still providing a soft, chewy texture. Here’s a simple recipe for Keto Naan Bread:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or ghee for a more traditional flavor)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Add the egg, Greek yogurt, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- If the dough is too wet, you can add a bit more almond flour to get the right consistency.
-
Form the Naan:
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it between your hands or use a rolling pin to shape it into a round or oval naan, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Cook the Naan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a little butter or oil to grease the pan.
- Place one naan dough round onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, until golden brown and slightly bubbly. Flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat the process for the remaining naan dough.
-
Serve:
- Optionally, brush the naan with a little more melted butter or ghee while it’s still hot.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or your favorite toppings if desired.
Tips:
- You can also add some garlic butter on top for extra flavor.
- These keto naans are great for dipping into curries, soups, or enjoying as a side to your favorite dishes!
Enjoy your soft, delicious keto naan!
