Ingredients
Garlic Naan Pizza
- 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast
- ½ cup whole milk yogurt plain
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- ¾ cup warm water
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 large garlic cloves minced
Toppings
- 1.5 cups butter chicken
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- red onion, green pepper (optional) sliced
- cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉.
- Fit a stand mixer with a dough hook. Add the all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, and sugar and give it dry stir. Now, add the yogurt and oil into the bowl with the dry ingredients and continue to mix at a slow speed. Slowly pour in the warm water.
- Continue to mix for 5 minutes. It's done when the dough starts pulling away from the sides and the dough is smooth. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for a minimum of 30 minutes. It's done when it has doubled in size.
- Punch the inflated dough down and knead it a few times. Spray the half sheet tray with cooking oil. Transfer the dough to the sheet. Use a rolling pin to thinly roll out the dough into an oval. Pinch the edges together to form a crust.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the naan pizza crust is baking, melt the butter in a tadka pan (or a small sauce pan) and add the minced garlic. Let the butter simmer for 3-4 minutes, until it's fragrant.
- Remove the par-baked naan crust from the oven. Brush the garlic butter over the crust (be careful of the hot pan!). Then, add spoons of butter chicken everywhere. Top with with the mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese. (Optional) Add sliced peppers, red onion, and any other toppings you'd like.
- Transfer the baking sheet back into the oven at 425℉ on the bottom rack. Bake for another 10 minutes. Then, broil for 5 minutes until the mozzarella starts to bubble and brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish with cilantro. Cut the pizza into 8 slices and serve hot.
