How to Make NAAN KETO (vegan, puffy + delicious) improved recipe | Mary's Test Kitchen

[@alexburgdorf419]

I'm not even vegan and I find these videos of food "experiments" so fascinating. I'll be honest though I think it's the warm narration that keeps me coming back. Good work , Mary!

[@marystestkitchen]

aw thanks!

[@Bulbassador]

I feel the same way! Not vegan. Not even vegetarian. The closest thing id use to describe myself is a veggie enjoyer, lol. But i absolutely love this channel and Mary's narration. So good!

[@Lyn-ur5qx]

the partially puffed naans are because the little ghost living inside of the bread is holding desperately onto the warm bread covers

[@marystestkitchen]

😂😂😂

[@dibamoca9885]

Seems legit!

[@TUG657]

20 grams of protein per 1 naan is insane! Looks absolutely heavenly!

[@marystestkitchen]

It's certainly satisfying 😊

[@adim00lah]

Facts! I don't have a mixer nor a grinder, so I will need to get some equipment before I try these, but they look amazing!

[@claudiaw9246]

OMG, I miss naan so much! Thank you so much for creating a keto version!!

[@marystestkitchen]

You are so welcome!

[@Fudgeey]

DOING! These are quite literally all of the ingredients that I have no idea what to do with: oat fiber, golden flax, wheat gluten and a jar of bread yeast. They've been in my cabinet for over a year now, they'll finally be put to use.

[@randomnessocity]

I'm not sure if I would really call it naan, but it seems like an amazing flat bread recipe that can be used as naan, pita, or a basis for a small pizza even. Will have to give this a try and taste test the flavour profile.

[@marystestkitchen]

Please do! 🤗

[@sew_So_beautiful]

That's essentially the bread recipe I use to make a loaf in my bread machine (just very slightly different). I had no idea I could make naan or pocket bread with it too. I must try it this week.

[@deepdabbler]

I made these yesterday. They didn't puff like yours, but were still very good. I am thinking of adding some vegan yogurt to the dough next time. Thanks for an awesome recipe!!

[@deviprasannamohanty6065]

[@TheEMC99]

I like Naan but this really reminds me of Roti which our family loves and misses. There's a phenomenal simple recipe here on YT for soft roti by All Things Food brushed with butter. Amazingly delicious! Roti is thinner than Naan so maybe it will work and I'll get more from the same recipe. I'm super excited to try as we used to run out of roti before the end of the meal no matter how big a batch I made.😂 Maybe with some ghee instead of butter and curry goat. Thank you. ❤

[@marystestkitchen]

All the fiber does make it more like whole wheat flour :-) This recipe doesn't work if you don't add the yeast though (as typically roti is unleavened) so you could say it's a cross between roti and naan

[@rebeccabaxter3118]

Really great recipe. Very soft and tasty. Well researched, tested presented. Freezes well.

[@geethaparasuram6338]

Just a thought. When making regular naan, I would wet the palms of both hands, pick up the rolled out naan, toss ot between the palms before tossing onto the griddle. The steam released helps the naan to.cook evenly, remain soft and will not burn. Worth a try.😊 Great video as usual.

[@marystestkitchen]

Oooh thanks. I bet the water helps with heat transfer in a similar way as I'm using the oil

[@geethaparasuram6338]

@marystestkitchen You can still brush oil at the end or even after removing from the griddle. Though not vegan, ghee/butter yields the best taste.

[@marystestkitchen]

yes of course :-) I found a vegan butter that tastes really good for that!@@geethaparasuram6338

[@noenaem1389]

Hi Mary! Love your content. I have a suggestion though: be careful measuring on top of a potholder, flat hard surfaces are a lot more consistent. You probably know this already, but just wanted to remind your viewers of best practices so their recipes come out great!

[@marystestkitchen]

yes! Good to note :-)

[@princessdeedee26]

Using Xantan gum or guar gum may help... I've used Xanthan gum before, and while it wasn't stretchy like the gluten, my bread wasn't a brick. 😂 The issue would be to figure out how much to use for this batch of Naan. 😅

[@manmeet390]

This is a really good recipe! I am definitely going to try it!

[@marystestkitchen]

Hope you enjoy!

[@anasgarden6483]

I love your keto bread recipes, I don’t have scales or electric mixer, i find if I mix the dry ingredients before adding the wet, it is very easy to mix by hand, I find the cup and spoon measure sufficient to get good results every time. I find oat fibre and maple syrup expensive so I substitute sugar and oat bran. I have quite course sea salt so I mix that with the wet ingredients to dissolve it, I don’t use the brands you recommend seeing as I live in Australia and they aren’t readily available. Lastly I do find golden flax better, brown flax makes a really dark looking bread, but I do enjoy a little brown flax seed mixed into the golden, for some flavour and colour. Even with the rough way I follow your recipe, I get excellent results every time, it is my favourite bread recipe, and really helps me eat low carb when I’m in a hurry.

[@anasgarden6483]

Oh and I forgot, I often grind my flax seed in advance, in my froothie blender, I just freeze it straight away, and it stays fresh, which I find handy especially when I have leftover ground flax seed which I don’t want to throw away. But I wouldn’t grind my flax seed in advance without freezing it, because ground flax seed goes rancid so quickly.

[@anasgarden6483]

I also bake 4 or 6 loaves at a time to save on time and electricity, and then freeze some of them.

[@marystestkitchen]

I'm glad you're finding success with this recipe and enjoying it. But just to caution, oat bran is not the same and has a high net carb count compared with oat fiber.

[@mcanultymichelle]

Good to know I was wondering if I could make this recipe without a stand mixer. Hi Ozzie from another Aussie living in the states.😊

[@keirawelling]

You have a great voice for audio book narration...lol. Thanks for the recipe!

[@nataliapoch6546]

I was learning how to make sourgdough bread once (on KZbin) and they said to first mix the flour and moisture roughly and let it rest for around 20 minutes because the flour needs some time to deal with the moisture, not sure exactly but it seemed important.

[@lindapb6529]

This looks so good. The texture!! I think the gluten contributes a lot to the puffy-ing. When I made pita breads it didn’t need any leavening at all and it puffed up perfectly with wheat only. I wonder if using baking powder or soda would oul work in place of yeast ? Flavor would be different, but maybe still good ?

[@marystestkitchen]

No, this formula really requires yeast. Baking powder will not work.

[@raraavis7782]

Interesting recipe! I've seen keto bread recipes, that are based on egg white, but never anything like this. I really like, that I can get all these ingredients locally. And if they taste as good as they look, I'll be forever grateful to you, lol. I soooo miss soft, fluffy bread like this. I'm doing dairy free keto atm, as it seems to eliminate some issues I had before and it's so limiting. I really need some more variety in my meals and this would totally hit the spot!

[@marystestkitchen]

glad to help 🤗

[@joePARKS]

I can't wait to try making these - thank you

[@marystestkitchen]

Hope you enjoy!

[@lisahinton9682]

Looks so dang good. I'm looking forward to this. Question: does it store okay, and for how long? Thanks so much for this.

[@marystestkitchen]

On the counter, in a bread bag/box: a day In the fridge, in a bag/box: up to a week My favorite: freeze the naan so I can have perfect crisp yet soft naan anytime! To keep them from freezing into a solid, hard-to-separate block, I put parchment paper between each naan and stack them. Then place the whole stack in a freezer bag, press out any air, and seal. You can keep them in the freezer for up to a month.

[@jonothandoeser]

NAAN!!!? Oh thank you Mary! THANK YOU! This is the first time I've heard of "Oat Fiber."

[@marystestkitchen]

Haha welcome to the world of toasty oat fiber

[@s.p642]

That looks amazing. It will probably be more work but can this be made without a mixer and mixed by hand?

[@marystestkitchen]

The kneading step to make the dough smooth and elastic is quite a lot of work. But if you're used to kneading by hand already, it should work BUT it will take longer. You should try to work quickly since timing is so important for this dough.

[@snehasaboo1377]

Have you ever made mung bean tofu? I would love to see it.

[@juliawulac]

Do you think that you can substitute the oat fiber for bamboo fiber? Then steam it after proofing to make Chinese style mantou?

[@truvelocity]

I use Anthony’s also. They sold it at our discount grocery on sale (Grocery Outlet), and it was a pleasant accident. I make Italian vegan sausages out of it.

[@truthinthefaceoftyranny]

I am looking for a keto bread recipe to use my Bamboo fiber. it has no real taste....so if I replace the oat fiber, I guess the golden flax flavor will dominate????

[@safalafagins]

How do you store the uneaten ones? Do you freeze the rolled out dough or do you cook them all at once and leave them in the fridge for how many days?

[@marystestkitchen]

Cook them first. I prefer to freeze them after they are cool enough. Then pop them in the air fryer to crisp up. Or just let them sit at room temp to defrost, then warm again in the pan.

[@ecleland979]

The nutritional yeast is not just for flavour -- it relaxes gluten!

[@marystestkitchen]

I've not found that it makes a textural difference to the dough handling in this recipe 🤷

[@ivythay4259]

Yay, more bread!

[@marystestkitchen]

Honestly, there's never enough 😂

[@natashanewman2296]

Does the cyanide in the flaxseed cook out? Or is it not a concern because of the quantity?

[@EtheriumSky]

This looks awesome, gonna try! But I am a bit confused... I always thought vital wheat gluten was essentially, well - pure gluten. If you were to make it ypurself from flour, you're effectively washing out other stuff till only gluten's left. If so, how can it be low in gluten then? And as low as 3g?? Maybe i twisted some facts, not sure...

[@marystestkitchen]

Yes, you're right about how gluten can be isolated from wheat flour. Gluten is the protein. Not the carbohydrate. It sounds like this is where you're a little confused. There's 20g of protein per piece of this vegan keto naan. There's about 3g of net carbohydrates (that's the carbs that your body can use for fuel). Does that clear things up? :-)

[@EtheriumSky]

@@marystestkitchen got it, thanks! :)

[@teshafaulkner2270]

Haven't had naan in ages...subscribed😁❤️

[@geekoutgirl]

Hi... Love your videos. Would it be possible to make these gluten free?

[@marystestkitchen]

Unfortunately not

[@thesonica1]

Do you have any suggestions for adapting the recipe to make Pita-pocket style bread instead? Or would the air pockets of this naan be enough?

[@marystestkitchen]

Yeah! Just make these into circles when you roll them out to make them more like the typical sandwich pita shape 😁

[@thesonica1]

@@marystestkitchen I was curious actually, oat fiber is far too pricey where I live and basically inaccessible unless purchased online. Would Oat or Wheat bran make for a good substitute? I don't nessecarily need to go totally Keto but even with that substitution it would be far lower then normal pita and with way more fiber. I think it would work especially when I compare the carb content of both the brands of avaible oat bran and wheat bran, who have less carbs at 100 grams then according to the label on Anthony's brand. The carb ratio's are: Anthony at 100 grams of carbs for every 100 grams of Oat Fiber(totally insoluable(?), no further nutrition) Local Oat bran at 51 grams of carbs for every 100 grams (16 grams of protein) Local Wheat bran at 18 grams of carbs for every 100 grams (16 grams of protein, higher in insoluble fiber then oatbran) I think the main issue might be the absorbancy of the brans vs the fibers, but honestly I wouldn't know.

[@marystestkitchen]

@@thesonica1 sorry, I haven't tried bran for these recipes because of the high carb content. Some people have reported using bamboo fiber with good results. I have been experimenting with bean fibers (leftover from making tofu). So far, they can replace oat fiber BUT each one absorbs water differently so I have had to make moisture adjustments. You might want to check out my video "Chickpeas can be anything" for that version

[@fabulousk9014]

You can use inulin instead of real sugar for the yeast

[@marystestkitchen]

It really doesn't work the same.

[@tofu-munchingCoalition.ofChaos]

Based on what do you think that? I could only find mechanistic speculations in that direction from two components in flax seeds. But food is complicated and the overall effect of all components embedded in the food matrix a specific way is what matters. So we need direct evidence. All the studies I found and that tested that found no effect ( _Flaxseed is unlikely to affect sex hormone levels_ ) or even an increase in testosterone using flax seeds.
