Since starting on the Low Fodmap diet, bread is one of the things I have missed the most. So I am extremely happy about perfecting the recipe for this Low Fodmap Garlic Naan!
I have to say that we are very lucky to be able to use the Healthy Bakers lo-fo pantry flour in Australia. It makes amazing soft bread, pizza bases, and focaccia. The crumb comes out nice and chewy, perfect for this kind of recipes.
Using garlic-infused olive oil, you can still get a delicious garlicky tasting naan without it becoming High Fodmap! Clever, right?
If you are not following the Low Fodmap diet, you can also try to make my regular Garlic Naan. You can find the recipe here.
As these naans freeze really well, I usually make extra and defrost them whenever I need them. I serve these with my favourite {Low Fodmap} Indian food – recipes for this will follow in the next few days, so stay tuned, especially if you like Indian food like me!

When it is golden brown and you can see big bubbles on the surface of the naan, reduce the heat to medium, uncover and cook for another 30 seconds.

Flip the naan over and cook the other side increasing the fire and pressing it down with a spatula. When it is golden brown, it is ready to serve. Remove it from the heat and brush it with a little garlic-infused olive oil.

Recipe Notes
I usually make a triple or quadruple dose of these naan, as they freeze really well. Cook them, let them cool down completely, and wrap them in aluminum foil. When you want to eat them, thaw them at room temperature and pop them for a few seconds in the microwave to heat up. They will be as good as when first made.
