This is an easy and basic flatbread that could be flavored in many ways. Try adding a bit of cumin or cayenne to the dough, or some herbs de Provence for a Mediterranean flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (112 g) fine coconut flour
- ¼ cup (20 g) fine-ground psyllium husk
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup (24 g) egg white protein
- 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 tsp unrefined sea salt
- 0.33 cup (80 ml) melted coconut oil, plus more for frying
- 2½ cups (592 ml) boiling water
How to Make It
- In a large bowl, mix the coconut flour, psyllium husk, garlic powder, egg white protein, baking powder and salt. Add the melted coconut oil and then the boiling water and mix well, until the dough starts to ball up. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. When ready, it should be soft and pliable, like pizza dough.
- Divide the dough into eight pieces, shape into balls, then one by one flatten into disks, about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
- There are two cooking options for the naan.
- To pan fry, heat about one teaspoon of coconut oil at a time in a nonstick skillet and fry the bread, turning once, until golden on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- To bake, preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Lay the bread on an oiled cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until golden and fully cooked.
- For best results, serve warm. These can be reheated in the oven.
