Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth. The mixture should look stretchy and glossy.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Transfer the melted cheese to a mixing bowl. Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. It should feel warm, pliable, and slightly elastic.
Step 3: Shape the Naan
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion into an oval or round shape, about ¼-inch thick — just like traditional naan.
Step 4: Cook Until Golden
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each naan for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown with light charring spots and a fluffy center.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Brush warm naan with olive oil or melted butter. Add garlic or herbs if desired, then serve immediately.
Pro Tips & Variations
- Garlic Naan: Brush with butter and sprinkle garlic powder after cooking.
- Herb Naan: Add chopped parsley or cilantro to the dough.
- Crispier Texture: Cook slightly longer on lower heat.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free mozzarella alternatives (results may vary).
- Meal Prep: Make dough ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
These simple tweaks let you customize your keto naan for any meal.
