💪 Why This Version Is Higher Protein

This version adds:
- Greek yogurt for extra protein
- Protein powder for structure and protein boost
- Egg for binding and softness
Result: Better texture + more protein per serving.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl combine:
- Almond flour
- Protein powder
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Garlic powder
Mix well so the protein powder distributes evenly.
2️⃣ Add the Wet Ingredients
Add:
- Greek yogurt
- Egg
Mix until a dough forms. It will be soft but not sticky.
If too sticky, add 1 tablespoon almond flour.
If too dry, add 1 teaspoon yogurt.
3️⃣ Rest the Dough
Let the dough sit for 5 minutes.
This allows the almond flour to absorb moisture and makes shaping easier.
4️⃣ Divide & Shape
Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
Place each between parchment paper and gently roll into oval naan shapes about ¼ inch thick.
5️⃣ Cook on Skillet
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Lightly grease with olive oil.
Cook each naan for about 2–3 minutes per side until:
- Golden brown spots form
- Edges puff slightly
- Center is cooked through
Flip gently with a spatula.
6️⃣ Brush & Finish
Brush warm naan with melted butter or olive oil.
Sprinkle with chopped herbs and a pinch of sea salt.
