Ingredients
1 3/4 cups super-fine blanched almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder (whole husk)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
For the Garlic Butter Topping:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), and salt.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds, stirring halfway, until smooth and melted.
3. Pour the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and apple cider vinegar.
4. Mix and knead with a spatula or greased hands until a uniform, sticky dough forms.
5. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Flatten each portion between parchment paper into a teardrop shape about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Heat a dry non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 2–3 minutes per side until golden-brown spots form.
7. Mix melted butter, garlic, and herbs in a bowl. Brush the hot naan generously with this garlic butter as soon as it’s done cooking.
8. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use parchment paper when rolling out the dough to prevent sticking.
Oil your hands when working with the dough to make handling easier.
Psyllium husk helps provide structure and chew; don’t skip it.
Make sure your mozzarella is low-moisture, part-skim for best results.
Naan can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen up to 3 months.
Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for best texture.
