INGREDIENTS

for NAAN BREAD

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 cups blanched almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg at room temperature

FOR GARLIC BUTTER

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
• 2 teaspoon garlic grated
• 2 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and keep it aside.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and sour cream. Microwave for a minute by stirring often until the cheese is completely melted.
3. In a wide bowl combine almond flour, baking powder, egg and melted cheese mixture. Mix well until everything combines and forms a smooth dough.
4. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roughly flatten the dough to elongated egg shape and place it in a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake the naan for 10-12 minutes until the naan puffs up and change the oven to broil and bake for a minute until there are some brown spots on the naan.
6. Meanwhile, prepare the garlic butter by combining the melted butter, garlic and cilantro in a small bowl.
7. Once the naans are out of the oven, brush the garlic butter on top and serve immediately.

NOTES

• Use almond flour rather than almond meal for a smoother, fluffier texture.
• Freshly grated cheese will melt better and be smoother than pre-grated cheese.
• Melt the cheese in 30-second increments, stirring after each, so it doesn’t burn.
• Naan dough will be sticky. Work with wet hands to prevent the dough from sticking to you.
• Line the baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
• If bubbles form on the surface of the naan as it bakes, pop them with a fork.
• Make a larger naan flatbread and use it as a base for pizza.
