Main Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt, if using. Gradually add water while stirring until a dough forms. Let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb the moisture and thicken the dough.
- Shape the Naan: Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion between two sheets of parchment paper into oval or round shapes roughly 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook on Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Place one piece of naan onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove the naan from the skillet and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces or use as a wrap base.
Notes
- For best results, use psyllium husk powder rather than whole husks to ensure a smoother dough.
- This bread is best eaten fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.
- You can add garlic powder or herbs to the dough for extra flavor.
- Adjust water slightly if the dough feels too dry or too sticky; consistency should be workable but not wet.
- If almond flour is not available, other low-carb flours like coconut flour can be experimented with but may require recipe adjustments.
