Quick and Easy Naan Pizza
This simple naan pizza is my favorite dinner hack for those busy weeknights when you want something delicious fast.
recipesbynani.comNaan bread makes the most incredible base for a homemade pizza. It gets perfectly crispy on the edges while staying soft in the middle, and it saves you all the time you would normally spend making dough from scratch.
My biggest tip is to not go overboard with the toppings. Since the naan is thinner than a traditional crust, a light layer of sauce and cheese keeps it from getting soggy. It is such a fun meal for kids to help assemble, too.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 pieces store bought naan bread
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Place the naan breads on the prepared baking sheet.
- 3
Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each piece of naan, leaving a little room around the edges for the crust.
- 4
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- 5
Top with the pepperoni slices and a dusting of dried oregano.
- 6
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
- 7
Remove from the oven, top with fresh basil, and slice to serve.
💡 Tips
Try adding cooked veggies like bell peppers or onions to mix things up. If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge and reheat in a toaster oven to keep the crust crispy.
