Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
Set aside.
2. Melt the Cheese (Fathead Method)
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine:
-
Mozzarella
-
Cream cheese
Microwave 45 seconds. Stir.
Microwave another 30–45 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
Stir until combined.
3. Form the Dough
While cheese is still warm:
Add:
-
Egg
-
Greek yogurt
Mix quickly to combine.
Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
You may need to knead with your hands until smooth.
If dough is sticky, lightly oil your hands.
The dough should be soft and pliable, not crumbly.
4. Divide & Shape
Divide dough into 6 equal balls.
Place one ball between two sheets of parchment paper.
Roll into oval or teardrop shape, about ¼-inch thick.
Repeat with remaining dough.
5. Cook the Naan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place naan into dry skillet.
Cook 2–3 minutes until golden brown with bubbles forming.
Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes.
Avoid very high heat — almond flour browns quickly.
6. Add Garlic Butter (Optional)
Mix melted butter and garlic.
Brush over warm naan.
Sprinkle with parsley.
Serve immediately.
Tips for Best Texture
-
Do not overcook or naan becomes stiff.
-
If dough becomes hard while shaping, microwave 10–15 seconds to soften.
-
Roll evenly to avoid thick centers.
Storage
-
Refrigerate up to 4 days
-
Freeze up to 2 months
-
Reheat in skillet or toaster oven for best texture
