High-Protein Instant Stovetop Naan
Meet Your New Favorite High-Protein Naan
You’re craving something warm, pillowy, and just a little indulgent—without waiting for dough to rise or turning on the oven. This stovetop naan gets you there in minutes, with a protein boost that keeps you full and satisfied.
Whisk together yogurt, a bit of flour, and a scoop of your favorite unflavored protein powder, then roll into quick rounds and sizzle in a hot skillet until blistered and soft. It’s the perfect carrier for curries, dips, or a quick weeknight wrap—proof that delicious can also be fast, easy, and nourishing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour — yields a tender, pliable dough; swap with a 1 cup gluten-free blend if needed.
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat) — adds moisture and tenderness; if very thick, whisk until smooth or loosen with a teaspoon of water.
- 1/4 cup warm water or dairy milk — use a little more if your dough feels dry; you’re aiming for a soft, cohesive ball.
- 1 scoop unflavored protein powder (whey, casein, or collagen) — boosts protein without changing flavor; if you skip it, add 1 extra tablespoon flour.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder — helps the naan puff a touch and stay fluffy.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt — brightens flavor.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter — keeps the dough tender and adds a touch of richness.
- Optional mix-ins: 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or nigella seeds, or 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro for fresh aroma.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the protein powder until evenly distributed.
- Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil. Begin stirring, then gradually pour in warm water until a soft, cohesive dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but able to hold its shape.
- Knead gently on a lightly floured surface for 1–2 minutes, just until smooth. If it’s too sticky, dust with a touch more flour, then rest the dough for 5 minutes under a clean towel.
- Divide into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a 6–7 inch circle, thicker at the edges for a soft naan. For extra flavor, press a little minced garlic or sesame seeds into the surface.
- Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook each naan 1–2 minutes per side, until blistered and golden in spots. You’ll smell toasty notes and hear a satisfying sizzle. Brush with a touch of butter if you like.
- Keep cooked naans warm under a towel as you finish the batch, or store in a container with a slightly damp paper towel to maintain softness.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with your favorite curries, lentil dal, or a spicy chickpea dish for a protein-boosted meal.
- Use as a wrap for veggie or grilled chicken fillings, with a dollop of yogurt-math sauce or chutney.
- Brush lightly with garlic butter and garnish with fresh cilantro for an easy-side that feels restaurant-caliber.
- For meal prep, cook a larger batch and reheat in a dry skillet for 30–60 seconds per side to restore that soft, bread-y texture.
Final Thoughts
This High-Protein Instant Stovetop Naan is all about speed, flavor, and a comforting bite that feels special without requiring an oven. It’s flexible enough to tailor with gluten-free options or your favorite herbs, and it pairs beautifully with curries, dips, or as a quick wrap for a busy weeknight.
Little tweaks go a long way—try adding garlic or cilantro to the dough for a fresh aroma, or swap in a different protein powder to adjust the nutrition profile. The skillet-based method keeps cleanup simple and your kitchen cozy as you pull together a satisfying, protein-packed meal in no time.
