Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Ensure that the oven reaches the correct temperature before baking the naan pizzas.
- Place the naan breads on a baking sheet. Brush each naan with olive oil, focusing on the edges to ensure they become crispy when baked.
- Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over each naan, leaving a border around the edges. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese evenly distributed over the sauce.
- Add any additional toppings of your choice, such as pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers. Arrange them evenly over the cheese for a balanced flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The pizzas are ready when the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Serving
- Allow the pizzas to cool for a few minutes after baking. Use a pizza cutter to slice each naan into two pieces, creating a total of 8 slices. Serve warm.
Storage
- Any leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
