Ensure to dam out sufficient time to make this recipe from begin to end. As a result of it is a yeasted dough and we’re working with a really restricted quantity of carbohydrates for the yeast to feed off of, the timing is fairly necessary. Nonetheless, most of this time is spent “resting” the dough. There isn’t a lot hands-on time till we prepare dinner the naan.

Make the Vegan Keto Naan Dough

First, bloom the yeast in heat water enhanced with a teaspoon of maple syrup. Sure, you learn that proper! Don’t fear, the sugar is used up by the yeast whereas it makes carbon dioxide to make our dough rise.

Then, add the dry substances and blend till the dough kinds.

The dough is kneaded till it’s clean and elastic; about 8 minutes at pace 3 in my stand mixer. Should you’re kneading by hand, it is going to take longer however attempt to work rapidly since timing is so necessary for this dough.

Observe: this step is super-crucial to the puff-abilty of your naan so be sure that dough turns into good and clean!

Divide and Form the Dough

Divide the dough into 8 items. Fold the sides into the underside facet and pinch to maintain the strain on prime. Then roll in your work floor to tighten the ball.

They’ll change into agency and stiff throughout this course of so that you’ll allow them to relaxation afterwards.

Cowl and relaxation for 45 minutes in a heat, draft-free location. Then the gluten inside will change into relaxed and the dough will change into comfortable once more.

Hand stretch the dough balls OR use a rolling pin to flatten into your naan shapes.

Cowl the uncooked naan with damp, clear lint-free kitchen towels and to permit for extra rising; one hour in a heat, draft-free location.

After the naan has puffed as much as about double in thickness, they’re able to prepare dinner.

Cooking your Vegan Keto Naan on the Range

Warmth up a big non-stick pan, brush on an excellent skinny little bit of oil, and lay down your first piece. Prepare dinner about 3 to 4 minutes till the underside is golden brown with, maybe, a couple of char marks.

Rapidly brush the highest with a skinny layer of oil, then flip the naan. If all went properly, it is going to puff up!

Proceed cooking for one more 2 to 4 minutes till the underside is golden as properly.

Switch the freshly cooked naan to a dish and canopy with a clear kitchen towel to carry within the steam.

As you prepare dinner the remainder of the naan, take note of how briskly the naan is cooking and alter your occasions and/or the warmth. Earlier than lengthy, you’ll have eight items of pretty puffy naan to take pleasure in!

Substances to Make the BEST Vegan Keto Naan

This low carb bread dough makes use of the identical substances as my Vegan Keto Sandwich Rolls, Vegan Keto Bread Loaf, Vegan Keto Pita Bread, and Vegan Keto Pizza Crust with slight variations in portions. Identical to how conventional breads are all made with flour, yeast and salt, my vegan keto doughs all have the identical key substances that work collectively to switch the qualities of entire wheat flour whereas omitting the starch.

In photograph, clockwise from prime left: salt, dietary yeast, very important wheat gluten, freshly floor golden flax seed, oat fiber.

I’ve additionally discovered that the standard of the substances actually issues to the success of the recipes. So on this part, I’ll additionally embrace hyperlinks to the precise manufacturers of the substances I’ve been utilizing and advocate. Please be aware that a few of the hyperlinks are Amazon affiliate hyperlinks. This implies, I’ll earn a small fee when you determine to make use of them. There is no such thing as a further price to you.

Dietary Yeast

As a result of there’s no starch, the flavors that may develop from the yeast fermenting that starch can be lacking from our naan. That’s why I add a little bit of dietary yeast for its savory taste. You may as well add different seasonings like garlic or onion powder, spices, or herbs.

Oat Fiber

With zero internet carbs, this Oat Fiber provides bulk to the dough in addition to a stunning toasty aroma throughout cooking. Nonetheless, please watch out to not confuse it with Oat Flour which is made with entire oats and may be very excessive in carbs. In distinction, Oat Fiber is constructed from the indigestible husks of oats.

One other factor to be careful for is the diet label. Whereas the Anthony’s model of Natural Oat Fiber I exploit is totally product of fiber, some that I’ve seen on-line aren’t so please examine the label earlier than buying.

When working with oat fiber, watch out as a result of this ingredient is extraordinarily gentle. It’s straightforward to kick up a cloud of dusty oat fiber so please be mild. Additionally, for correct measuring, a scale is finest. I’ve stopped together with “cup and spoon” primarily based measurements for recipes with this ingredient as a result of it’s simply too straightforward to screw up.

Golden Flax Seeds

Flax seeds assist this dough retain moisture and provides bulk to the dough with out weighing it down and stopping rising (one thing an excessive amount of oat fiber can do). I select Golden Flax Seeds over common brown flax seeds as a result of they’ve a milder flavour and provides a lighter, nicer look to the rolls.

Purchase solely entire flax seeds. They’re much less delicate and fewer liable to rancidity when stored intact. I retailer them within the fridge for optimum freshness and longevity. Then, merely grind them as you require. At all times watch out to not allow them to overheat. This manner, the oil inside stays recent. 

It’s possible you’ll be tempted to purchase pre-ground golden flax seed. Sadly, some commenters have reported making an attempt my vegan keto bread recipes with pre-ground flax and having combined outcomes. 

Very important Wheat Gluten

The gluten in wheat flour is what creates construction in bread and permits it to rise and preserve its form. However as a substitute of utilizing the entire wheat that features a lot starch, we are able to use solely the protein half: Very important Wheat Gluten.  Nonetheless, an excessive amount of of it is going to make your dough too robust and chewy plus have an disagreeable doughy flavour. So it’s necessary to combine within the flax and oat fiber. Additionally, I like to make use of Anthony’s model of Very important Wheat Gluten particularly as a result of it has much less of that distinct “gluten-y” flavour.

Oil

You’ll have to brush a tiny little bit of oil on to the new non-stick pan earlier than laying down the uncooked naan. Then after it’s cooked on one facet, you’ll need to brush on a little bit oil on the highest earlier than flipping. This oil helps to crisp the skin and improves the flavour. Plus, it appears to assist with heat-transfer. 

I examined cooking these naan with out oil and they didn’t puff up. So if you don’t thoughts that and you like to prepare dinner with out oil, you may omit it.

Retailer Vegan Keto Naan

I like to freeze the naan so I can have good crisp but comfortable naan anytime! To maintain them from freezing right into a stable, hard-to-separate block, I put parchment paper between every naan and stack them. Then place the entire stack in a freezer bag, press out any air, and seal. You possibly can preserve them within the freezer for as much as a month.

To reheat, I air fry at 400°F for 3 to five minutes, relying on how comfortable or crispy I need the naan to be.

Should you’re consuming the naan inside every week although, you may merely place it in an hermetic container and preserve it within the fridge. 

Should you don’t have room in your fridge, your naan might be advantageous for a pair days in your kitchen counter. Simply preserve it in a bread field or bag.

Dietary Data for Vegan Keto Naan

This recipe makes 8 full-sized servings of vegan keto naan. For the diet data, I plugged the substances straight into Cronometer. Nonetheless, please remember the fact that Cronometer doesn’t account for the yeast’s motion in reworking sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol which evaporates throughout cooking. So the carbohydrate depend is a little bit on the upper than the precise.
