Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.33 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, low-carb)
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter or ghee (for brushing)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the Greek yogurt and the egg to the dry mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough gently for 1-2 minutes with clean hands, forming a smooth ball. If the dough feels too sticky, let it rest for a few minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb moisture.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a naan-shaped oval, about 1/4-inch thick, using your hands or a rolling pin. Place the rolled-out naan on a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one naan at a time into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots form. Flip carefully using a spatula.
Remove the cooked naan from the skillet and brush immediately with melted butter or ghee for added flavor. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Serve warm with your favorite curry, dip, or topping. Enjoy!
