Description

This easy and delicious Naan Pizza recipe uses soft naan bread as a quick pizza base, topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, and optional herbs and spices. Ready in just 13 minutes, it's a perfect snack or light meal that combines the flavors of classic pizza with the convenience of naan bread.

Ingredients

Base

  • 2 naan breads

Sauce

  • ½ cup marinara sauce (or pizza sauce)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic (grated, optional)

Cheese and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a crispy crust and melted cheese.
  2. Prepare the naan bases: Place the naan breads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  3. Spread the sauce: Spoon the marinara or pizza sauce onto the center of each naan and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula, leaving a small border around the edges to form a crust.
  4. Add seasoning: Sprinkle dried oregano and grated garlic over the sauce for extra flavor, if using.
  5. Top with cheese and extras: Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheeses on top. Add fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat and herbal notes.
  6. Bake the pizzas: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown and the edges of the naan are slightly crisp.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the naan pizzas from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can customize toppings according to your preference, such as adding vegetables, cooked meats, or different cheeses.
  • If you prefer a crispier base, toast the naan briefly before adding toppings.
  • Use fresh herbs like basil after baking for the best flavor and freshness.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, ensure the marinara sauce and cheeses are free of animal rennet.
