Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large (8-inch) naans store-bought or homemade
- ½ cup pizza sauce or pesto
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning in olive oil (optional)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- grated parmesan cheese for finishing
- pinch flaky salt
- 1 sprig basil chopped
Other Toppings
- mushrooms
- heirloom tomatoes
- tandoori sauce
- bell peppers
- roasted garlic
- burrata
- pepperoni or sausage
- hot honey
- arugula add after baking
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Once the oven is hot, place the naans in a half sheet tray. (Optional) Brush the naan with olive oil or garlic herb butter. Bake for 5 minutes, or until warm. Carefully remove the tray from the oven.
- Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the naan. (Optional) Drizzle ½ teaspoon of italian seasoning in olive oil over the naan. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese, followed by your choice of toppings.
- Return the sheet tray to the top rack of the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the naan are golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, red chili flakes, a pinch of flaky salt, and grated parmesan. Slice into 4 pieces. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- If you have leftovers, store the naan pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on a stovetop skillet to retain crispiness. For longer storage, freeze the assembled pizza (before baking) and bake directly from frozen when ready to serve.
