Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces naan bread
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- varies optional toppings (pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Place the naan breads on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with a tablespoon of olive oil. This will create a golden, crispy base.
Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly over each naan, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each naan.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and distribute them evenly on top of the cheese.
Add fresh basil leaves to each naan pizza. They can be left whole or torn into smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper over the toppings. Add any optional toppings at this stage, such as pepperoni, olives, or sliced bell peppers.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the naan are golden brown.
Remove the naan pizzas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before slicing into pieces. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade naan pizza!
