This Cottage Cheese Garlic Naan is high in protein, yeast-free, and incredibly easy to make, perfect as a side or with your favorite dips.
Ingredients
Naan dough ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat works best)
- 2 pieces eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter for brushing
- Chopped parsley or cilantro for garnish Optional
Instructions
Preparation
- In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is completely smooth and silky.
- In a large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Mix the minced garlic into the dough.
- Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat and brush it lightly with butter.
- Cook each naan for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and puffy.
- Brush warm naan with more melted butter and sprinkle with parsley or cilantro if desired.
Notes
Store leftover naan in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Warm them up in a skillet or the microwave when ready to eat. Experiment with flours, and add spices for flavor variations.
