Naans are bread that is typically prepared with wheat flour, yeast and salt. I say typically because there are multiple ways of making naans, from the traditional recipe to the modern Americanized versions. My favorite version is the traditional recipe. I like the taste of the traditional naan, the texture is more light and airy than the crispy ones, which is my favorite.
Naan, a type of flat bread, has recently become popular in Asian cuisine. It’s especially popular in India, where it can be found at every street corner. The most popular recipe calls for a mixture of wheat flour, water, salt, oil, and yeast. The dough is then allowed to rise before the bread is baked in a tandoor oven. The baked bread is cut into pieces and served.
Naan is a steamed bread that’s widely used in Indian cooking. Traditionally, naan is made with whole wheat flour, which is rich in fiber and low in carbs and calories. The bread is traditionally eaten with curries, chutneys, and other savory dishes, making it a key staple of a South Indian meal.
You’d think that being of Indian heritage would make developing a Naan with Low Carb recipe a little simpler for me, but it didn’t. It took me a long time to find out which flours and fibers went together best. It’s crucial to know what different flour does when cooked. Knowing that coconut flour and psyllium husk powder would result in a flexible naan-like bread lead me to this Naan with Low Carb recipe. Since learning how to make them, I’ve made sure to have some in the fridge for us to nibble on or use in sandwiches!
Naan with Garlic
Garlic isn’t required in your naan, but it’s one of our favorite tastes and ingredients to work with, so we chose to create garlic naan. We tried using refrigerated minced garlic, but it didn’t have enough flavor to stand out. We then used raw garlic cloves that had been minced and thrown into the naan dough before cooking. It worked perfectly! The more garlic you add, the garliccier it will get. You may even spread garlic butter on the heated naan!
Recipe for Naan
The recipe is very easy, as you can see from the ingredients list below, and they are incredibly fast to prepare. We recommend letting the dough rest for 15 minutes before shaping your naans, but if you’re in a hurry, you can skip that step and go straight to making and consuming your naans. It’s worth noting that you can’t go wrong with this recipe. Add water if it’s too dry. Add psyllium husk powder if it’s too moist.
Naan with Low Carb
This is by far our favorite bread recipe out of all of the ones we’ve tried, even better than our Best Keto Bread recipe. It makes use of a high-fiber ingredient, which is always a healthy supplement to anyone’s diet. Fiber has been proven to help you feel fuller for extended periods of time. They’re also flexible, which makes them ideal for use as a tortilla or wrap. If you’re more of a roll person like Matt, you should try our Low Carb Rolls, which also include psyllium husk powder. Now go out and get some butter chicken takeout from your favorite Indian restaurant, and prepare some Low Carb Naan to accompany it!
