you just need a few ingredients

Naan: You can make your very own naan bread or use store-bought.
The Toppings: I keep it simple with just pizza sauce, mozzarella, and shredded parmesan (or cheddar).

Three pieces of naan bread, a bowl of tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese arranged on a dark surface. Labels identify each ingredient. — Prebaking will toast up our naan so that it can support our pizza toppings without going all flimsy.

Go the classic Caprese route by adding pesto and tomatoes. You could also skip the shredded mozzarella and use fresh slices instead!

This easy naan pizza has all the flavor and texture of delicious pizza, but none of the work. Plus, it's ready in just 15 minutes!

Ingredients

▢ 4 pieces naan
▢ ½ cup pizza sauce, 100 g
▢ 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 85 g
▢ ½ cup shredded cheddar or parmesan, 40 g
▢ To Serve: fresh basil, crushed red pepper

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Once hot, place naan directly on the racks and cook for 2 minutes. Flip carefully with tongs, then cook for another 2 minutes. Remove naan from the oven.
Assemble: Spread 2 Tbsp of sauce onto each naan, followed by ¼ cup of mozzarella and 2 Tbsp of either cheddar or parmesan.
Bake: Carefully place naan directly on the oven racks and bake for 4 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.
Serve: Allow to cool slightly, then cut into slices and top with fresh basil and crushed pepper.

Notes

Storage: You can store any leftover pizza in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 4 days. To reheat it, pop it in the oven or air fryer to make it crispy again.

Can I make it in advance? This pizza is best made and eaten right away. The best part is the crispy naan bread and if this is made in advance, it will get soggy.

Using vegetables: I don’t recommend using fresh or raw vegetables because there isn’t a long enough bake time to cook them. Stick to using only roasted or pre-cooked vegetables.
