(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a large baking tray by lining it with parchment paper to prevent the naan from sticking.
Melt the Cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl or a small saucepan, melt the mozzarella cheese and milk together. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth. Once melted, whisk the mixture to combine thoroughly.
Make the Dough
Transfer the melted cheese mixture to a large mixing bowl. Allow it to cool for about 2 minutes. Then, add the almond flour, eggs, and baking powder to the bowl. Mix everything together until a cohesive dough forms.
Shape the Naan
Knead the dough briefly with your hands until it’s smooth and well combined. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a rough circle or oval shape, and place them on the prepared baking tray.
Bake the Naan
Bake the naan for 18-20 minutes, or until they have puffed up and achieved a golden-brown hue. Keep an eye on them as ovens can vary. Once they’re golden, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
Optional Garlic Butter
For extra flavor, you can brush the cooled naan with garlic butter or your favorite keto-friendly spread. This will add a wonderful aroma and taste, taking your naan to the next level!
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the naan with your favorite keto-friendly curries, dips, or as a side to any meal. Enjoy the soft, pillowy texture with minimal carbs!
