Equipment

Baking sheet or pizza stone
Pastry brush for olive oil
Sharp knife for slicing
Cheese grater (if using block cheese)

Ingredients

For the Base:

2 pieces of plain naan bread about 8 inches each
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Suggested Toppings:

¼ cup fresh basil leaves
12 slices pepperoni optional
¼ cup sliced red onions
½ cup sliced mushrooms
¼ cup sliced bell peppers
Italian seasoning to taste
Red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Prepare Your Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven while it heats.
Gather all your toppings and have them ready to go. This ensures quick assembly once you start.

Prepare the Naan Base

Brush each piece of naan bread with olive oil, covering the entire surface.
Spread ¼ cup of pizza sauce on each naan, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over each naan.

Add Toppings

Add your chosen toppings evenly across the pizzas.
Sprinkle with Italian seasoning if desired.
Add any remaining cheese on top of the ingredients.

Bake

Carefully transfer the prepared naan pizzas to the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
In the last minute, switch to broil for extra cheese browning if desired (watch carefully to prevent burning).

Finish and Serve

Remove from oven and let rest for 1-2 minutes.
Top with fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes if desired.
Slice and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

Pat pepperoni with paper towel before using to reduce grease
Don't overload with sauce to keep crust crispy
For extra crispy naan, pre-toast for 2 minutes before adding toppings
