Prep and Cook Time

How to Make Keto Garlic Naan Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and combined.

Next, add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and the egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. If it’s too sticky, knead gently with oiled hands.

Step 2: Shape the Naan

Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll or press each into an oval or teardrop shape about ¼ inch thick. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake the Naan

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and puffed.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter

While the naan is baking, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic, salt, and herbs.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

As soon as the naan comes out of the oven, brush generously with the garlic butter. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Tips for the Best Keto Garlic Naan Bread

• Cheese Tip: Use low-moisture mozzarella for a firmer dough.

• Don’t Skip the Garlic Butter: It adds key flavor that makes this naan unforgettable.

• To Reheat: Toast in a skillet or warm in the oven.

• Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to a month.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with Keto Butter Chicken

• Use it as a base for low-carb pizza

• Slice and serve with dips like Keto Spinach Artichoke Dip

• Wrap grilled meats or veggies for a quick sandwich alternative

Variations and Add-Ons

• Spicy: Add a pinch of chili flakes to the garlic butter.

• Herb-Rich: Mix rosemary, thyme, or basil into the dough.

• Cheesy Naan: Sprinkle shredded parmesan over the naan before baking.

• Vegan Option: Use vegan mozzarella and a flax egg substitute.

What Makes This Naan “Keto”?

Traditional naan is made with wheat flour and sometimes yogurt, making it high in carbs. This version swaps the flour for almond flour and uses melted cheese and egg for structure—keeping it keto while still capturing the softness and chew you expect from naan.
