Naan Pizza
Description
Some days I feel like cooking. Other days, we eat Naan Pizza and no one is ever disappointed.
Ingredients
- 2 naan breads about 8-inches each, or 4 mini naan breads (purchased or Homemade Naan)
- ½ cup prepared pizza sauce or pesto
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or fresh mozzarella slices)
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Pinch kosher salt or flaky sea salt
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 8 fresh basil leaves
- Other topping ideas:
- Pepperoni and/or Italian chicken or turkey sausage
- Sautéed Mushrooms
- Roasted Garlic
- Roasted Red Peppers
- Burrata
- Ricotta
- Carbonara
- Brussels Sprouts and Bacon
- Asparagus
- Arugula and prosciutto add after the pizza comes out of the oven
Directions
- Place a rack in the upper third of the oven (about 6 inches from the top). Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Carefully place the naan directly on the oven grate. Bake on the first side for 2 minutes, then flip and bake 3 additional minutes on the other side.
- Transfer the naan to a parchment-lined baking sheet, with the bubbly-side facing up. Top with pizza sauce (the layer will look thin) and Italian seasoning.
- Add the Mozzarella.
- Add any desired toppings and Parmesan.
- Return the pizza to the oven and continue baking until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle lightly with salt and red pepper flakes. Tear the fresh basil leaves over the top. Enjoy!
