This Soft & Chewy Keto Garlic Naan is a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional naan bread, perfect for those following a keto or gluten-free diet. Made with coconut flour, psyllium husk, and Greek yogurt, these naan breads are fluffy, soft, and infused with garlic flavor. They bake up golden and can be finished with melted butter, fresh herbs, and optional seeds for a deliciously aromatic touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Baking powder (gluten-free)
  • 2/3 cup Coconut flour (fine texture) (about 75g)
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp Psyllium husk powder (finely ground) (about 18g)
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt (fine grain)
  • 1 tsp Xanthan gum

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil (melted) (30 ml)
  • 1 cup Water (boiling hot) (240 ml)
  • 1/4 cup Plain Greek yogurt (full fat) (60g)

For Finishing

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted) (30 ml)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley or cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 tsp Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)
  • Optional: 1 tsp Sesame seeds or “Everything Bagel” seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, garlic powder, and fine sea salt until no lumps remain, ensuring an even dry mix.
  3. Mix the dough: Pour the boiling hot water, melted coconut oil, and plain Greek yogurt into the dry mixture. Stir vigorously with a sturdy spatula or wooden spoon until a cohesive dough forms and all ingredients are fully combined.
  4. Rest the dough: Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest in the bowl for about 5 minutes. This allows the coconut flour and psyllium husk to absorb moisture properly and the dough to firm up for easier handling.
  5. Shape the flatbreads: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, place between two sheets of parchment paper, and roll out into an oval or circle about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick for uniform thickness.
  6. Bake: Transfer the shaped flatbreads onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. They should feel firm and turn slightly golden around the edges indicating they are done.
  7. Broil for char (optional): For a more traditional charred appearance, switch the oven to ‘Broil’ on high for 1 minute, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Serve: Remove the naan from the oven and immediately brush each with melted butter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, coarse salt, and optional sesame or everything bagel seasoning. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to use finely ground psyllium husk powder for the best texture; coarser husk can create a gritty feel.
  • Boiling hot water is crucial for hydration and activating the psyllium and coconut flour properly.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs based on preference, such as cilantro or parsley.
  • For added flavor, consider adding minced garlic to the dough or brushing more garlic-infused butter after baking.
  • This recipe is gluten-free and keto-friendly, making it suitable for low-carb and gluten-sensitive diets.
  • Store any leftover naan wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat in a warm oven or toaster oven to restore softness before serving.
