Garlic Keto Naan Bread Recipe

Introduction

Enjoy a delicious low-carb twist on traditional naan bread with this Garlic Keto Naan Bread recipe. Soft, cheesy, and infused with garlic and fresh parsley, it’s perfect for pairing with your favorite dishes or enjoying on its own.

Ingredients

• 1¾ cups pre-shredded or grated mozzarella
• ¾ cup almond meal or flour
• 2 tbsp natural unsweetened yoghurt
• 1 egg
• ½ tbsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 191°C (375°F).
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese, almond flour, and yoghurt. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute to melt the cheese, then stir and heat again for 30 seconds.
3. Step 3: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and baking powder. Fold this into the cheese mixture until fully combined using a silicone spatula or spoon.
4. Step 4: Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball by hand into an oval shape about 8mm (1/4 inch) thick. Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet, spaced apart.
5. Step 5: Bake on the top rack for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges turn golden.
6. Step 6: While baking, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and chopped parsley. Brush this mixture over each naan.
7. Step 7: Return the naan to the oven and bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to lightly brown the tops. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of chili flakes to the garlic butter before brushing.
• You can substitute the almond flour with coconut flour, but use less as it absorbs more moisture.
• If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt the cheese and yoghurt mixture gently on low heat in a saucepan.
• Serve with your favorite keto-friendly dips or curries for a complete meal.

Storage

Store leftover naan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a skillet or oven until soft and heated through. Avoid microwaving to keep the texture pleasant.

Notes

• This recipe uses mozzarella cheese to keep the naan soft and chewy while maintaining a low-carb profile.
• Almond flour helps keep the bread keto-friendly instead of traditional wheat flour.
• You can adjust the garlic powder amount or add minced fresh garlic for a stronger garlic flavor.
• Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
• For an even softer naan, serve immediately while warm.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best texture.
