Instructions
-
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Prepare the dry ingredients
In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine. -
Melt the mozzarella
Melt the shredded mozzarella in the microwave for about 30 seconds until soft and stretchy. -
Make the dough
Add the melted mozzarella, egg, and Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly to form a dough. -
Shape the naan
Divide the dough into 3–4 portions and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball into a naan shape using your hands or a rolling pin. -
Bake the naan
Place the naan on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown. -
Finish and serve
Brush the warm naan with melted butter. Optionally, sprinkle with garlic powder and chopped cilantro for extra flavor.
Additional Notes
- Cheese Options: You can substitute mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar or Parmesan for a different flavor.
- Customizable Flavor: Add herbs like thyme, oregano, or rosemary to the dough for a herbed naan variation.
Variations
- Garlic Butter Naan: Brush with a garlic butter mixture instead of plain melted butter for more flavor.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use a dairy-free yogurt and cheese substitute to make this recipe dairy-free.
- Vegan Option: Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 2.5 tbsp water) and use a plant-based yogurt.
