Cottage Cheese Garlic Naan (High-Protein, No Yeast Recipe)
Make soft, fluffy, high-protein garlic naan in under 30 minutes — no yeast, no hassle. Packed with cottage cheese for extra flavor and nutrition.
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (for the softest texture)
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond flour (adds richness — optional)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp butter (for brushing, plus more if you’re feeling indulgent)
- Chopped parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Blend the base In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until completely smooth — no lumps. This step is key for that fluffy naan texture.
- Mix the dry ingredients In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine and form dough Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a soft, sticky dough forms. Mix in the minced garlic.
- Shape your naan Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into 6 balls (golf-ball size). Flatten each into an oval, about ¼ inch thick.
- Cook to golden perfection Heat a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with butter. Cook each naan 2–3 minutes per side until golden and puffy.
- Finish and serve Brush warm naan with melted butter, sprinkle with parsley or cilantro, and serve immediately.
