Diet doctor: Naan Bread

Naan bread is one of the things many of us miss when having a curry. While meat and vegetable curries lend themselves very easily to low carb eating, you can’t say the same for Naan Bread.  So it’s great to see a recipe for this first published in diet doctor and which came to my attention from our reader Shirley Yates who has her own low carb cooking blog.

Low Carb Naan Bread!
Published on June 21, 2017
Two pieces is only 3 net carbs!
Ingredients

¾ cup coconut flour
2 tablespoons ground psyllium husk powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6¾ tablespoons melted coconut oil
2 cups boiling water
coconut oil, for frying
sea salt
Garlic butter

3½ oz. butter
1 – 2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add oil and then boiling water and stir thoroughly.
Allow to rise for five minutes. The dough will turn firm fairly quickly, but stay flexible. It should resemble the consistency of Play-Doh. If you find it’s too runny then add more psyllium husk until it feels right. The amount needed may vary depending on what brand of husk or coconut flour you use.
Divide into 6 or 8 pieces and form into balls that you flatten with your hands directly on parchment paper or on the kitchen counter.
Fry rounds in coconut oil over medium heat until the Naan turn a nice golden color.
Heat the oven to 140°F (70°C) and keep the bread warm while you make more.
Melt the butter and stir in the freshly squeezed garlic. Apply the melted butter on the bread pieces using a brush and sprinkle flaked salt on top.
Pour the rest of the garlic butter in a bowl and dip pieces of bread in it.
