FAQs
1. Can I use regular flour instead of almond or coconut flour?
This recipe is designed to be low-carb, so using regular flour will not work for a keto diet. However, you can try other low-carb flours like flaxseed meal or lupin flour, though the texture may differ.
2. Can I make these naan in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the naan ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Just reheat them before serving.
3. Can I freeze these keto naan?
Yes, you can freeze the cooked naan. Place pieces of parchment paper between each naan to prevent them from sticking together, then freeze in a zip-lock bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or skillet when ready to eat.
4. Can I use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version?
Yes, you can substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt of your choice. Just make sure it has a similar consistency for the best results.
5. How can I make the naan crispy?
If you prefer crispy naan, you can cook it slightly longer on each side, or you can even finish cooking it under the broiler for a minute to get a crispy top.
6. What should I serve with this keto naan?
This naan pairs well with keto-friendly curries, stews, or dips like guacamole, hummus, or tzatziki sauce.
7. Can I add cheese to the dough?
Yes, you can fold shredded cheese into the dough for a cheesy keto naan. Mozzarella or cheddar would work well.
8. Can I make smaller portions of naan?
Certainly! You can divide the dough into smaller portions to make mini naan. Just reduce the cooking time slightly, as they will cook faster.
9. How do I know when the naan is done cooking?
The naan should be golden brown on both sides, with slightly crispy edges. If you gently press down on the center, it should feel firm but soft.
10. Can I make these naan in the oven?
Yes, you can bake these naan in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden and firm.
