Rye Naan? Why not?

 So, I ordered gluten flour and rye flour from amazon.com.  I'm super excited to try out some low carb recipes!  But first, check out this super adorable packaging.
 They are SERIOUS about not using a box cutter.

 Which made a lot more sense once I opened the box.  That would have been a mess.
 So, I mixed equal parts of gluten and rye flour and replaced the flour in this recipe with that mixture.

So, I made 5 pieces of naan.  I took some liberties with the recipe to make it smaller.  My recipe is:

1/2 cup of gluten flour
1/2 cup of rye flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 packet splenda
1 egg white
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
1/2 cup 1% milk

So the nutrition information I calculated: 577 calories, 66.3 g protein, 70.7 g carbs, and 15 g of fiber.

Not too shabby, I think.  The bread was totally tasty.  I've certainly had tastier, but not with that nutritional profile.
