Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups pre-shredded/grated mozzarella cheese
  • ¾ cup almond meal/flour
  • 2 tbsp natural unsweetened yoghurt
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tbsp baking powder

Topping

  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 191°C (375°F) to prepare for baking the naan.
  2. Melt Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, lightly mix together the shredded mozzarella, almond flour, and yogurt. Place this bowl in the microwave and melt the mixture for 1 minute. Stir thoroughly and microwave again for an additional 30 seconds until fully melted and combined.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small separate bowl, whisk together the egg and baking powder. Fold this egg mixture into the cheese dough using a silicone spatula or spoon, mixing until the dough is fully combined.
  4. Shape Dough Balls: Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten each ball by hand into an oval shape approximately 8mm (1/4 inch) thick. Arrange the flattened dough pieces evenly spaced on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake the Naan: Bake the naan breads on the top rack of your preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
  6. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the naan is baking, combine the melted butter with garlic powder and chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Brush and Final Bake: Remove the naan from the oven and brush each piece generously with the garlic butter mixture. Return the naan to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes to brown the tops slightly.
  8. Serve: Serve the garlic keto naan warm as a side or snack. Enjoy!

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.
