Description
A soft, fluffy, and low-carb Keto Naan Bread made with shredded mozzarella cheese, almond flour, and baking powder. This yeast-free recipe is perfect for a quick, keto-friendly side for curries, dips, or any meal.
Ingredients
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons milk (any variety)
1 ½ cups almond flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 large eggs (brought to room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the mozzarella cheese and milk together. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Whisk the mixture to combine thoroughly.
- Transfer the melted cheese mixture to a large mixing bowl. Let it cool for 2 minutes. Add almond flour, eggs, and baking powder, and mix until a cohesive dough forms.
- Knead the dough briefly by hand until smooth. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into circles or ovals. Place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
- Optional: Brush with garlic butter or your favorite keto-friendly spread for extra flavor.
- Serve with your favorite keto-friendly curries, dips, or as a side to any meal.
Notes
- Add fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano to the dough for an herb-infused variation.
- For garlic naan, add minced garlic to the dough or brush the naan with garlic butter.
- Experiment with cheese combinations like mozzarella and parmesan for a different flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a dry skillet or microwave.
- Can be frozen after cooling. Wrap in parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe bag.
