Ingredients
Naan Bread: Purchased in 6 to 8-inch sizes, naan is perfect for mini pizza crusts.
Sauce: Buy pizza sauce or marinara sauce and bump up the seasonings with some garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or Italian seasonings.
Pepperoni: Mini pepperonis look better on a mini pizza, but any pepperoni, ham, ground beef, sausage, or leftover chicken or turkey will work. Or make vegetarian naan pizzas with lots of extra melty cheese!
Cheese: For the meltiest cheese, grate the mozzarella instead of buying it pre-shredded, it’s worth the effort! You can also use cheddar, a Mexican blend, or a crumble of feta with the parmesan in Step 4.
Variations
- If naan bread isn’t available, try using pita bread. The crust will be thinner and crispier.
- Whatever goes on a pizza can also go on a naan pizza crust. Sliced olives, tomatoes, jalapenos, bell peppers, mushrooms, artichokes, onions, or pineapple.
How to Make Naan Bread Pizza
- Place naan on a large baking sheet and top with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese.
- Add pepperoni, parmesan cheese, and oregano.
- Bake until the cheese is browned and bubbly (recipe below).
Tips for Success
- Keep toppings to a minimum and be sure they are finely chopped so the pizzas don’t collapse when you hold them.
- Prevent the edges of the naan from burning by covering the pizza to the edges with the sauce.
- Let pizzas rest for about two minutes so the cheese can firm up a bit (besides, they’ll be hot)!
Serving and Storing Naan Bread Pizza
Keep leftover cooled naan pizzas in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy them cold or pop them in the microwave or air fryer to warm them up.
Freeze cooked and cooled pizzas on a baking sheet then transfer them to zippered bags and freeze for up to two months. Allow them to thaw out in the refrigerator or pop one into a backpack or briefcase and they’ll be thawed by lunchtime!
