Description
This Cottage Cheese Garlic Skillet Naan is an easy and flavorful flatbread that’s perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup smooth blended cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1½ cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted ghee (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Garlic Butter Brush:
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or ghee
- 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or parsley
Instructions
- Start by combining the smooth cottage cheese, a large egg, and olive oil (or melted ghee) in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or whisk to mix until the ingredients are well incorporated. Gradually add in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder, mixing until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes; this helps it become more manageable and enhances the texture of the final naan.
- After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal portions. To ensure easy handling, you can shape each piece into a ball. Next, place one dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten it into an oval shape about 6 to 7 inches wide, aiming for a thickness of around ⅛ to ¼ inch. Repeat the process for the remaining portions of dough. This technique keeps the dough from sticking and helps maintain even shapes.
- Preheat your skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the bottom. Carefully place one piece of shaped naan in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and slightly puffed. Gently flip the naan over with a spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on this side. Continue this process until all naan pieces are cooked, adding more oil as needed between batches to prevent sticking.
- While the naan is still warm, prepare the garlic butter by mixing melted butter or ghee, the finely grated garlic, and chopped herbs in a small bowl. Brush this savory mixture generously over the warm naan as soon as it’s off the skillet to enhance the flavor. Serve immediately, and enjoy the delightful blend of garlicky goodness!
Notes
Make sure to thoroughly blend the cottage cheese for a smoother texture.
