Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 naan bread
- ½ cup marinara sauce
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 176 C.
- Lay the naan bread on the baking tray and spread each with marinara sauce.
- Sprinkle with oregano and top with fresh basil and mozzarella cheese.
- Cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
Notes
- For an extra crispy crust, pre-bake the naan for 3 to 4 minutes directly on the oven grates. Reduce the cooking time once you add the toppings since it will need less time to fully cook.
- For meal prep: You can freeze store-bought naan so you always have it on hand!
- Don't use too much sauce. A thin even layer that coats the naan works perfectly.
- Make it healthier: You can make this easy recipe even healthier by using a whole wheat naan bread or whole wheat pita bread as the pizza base instead of regular naan.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Never reheat pizza in the microwave or it will get greasy, soggy, and chewy. Instead, reheat in a 350 degree preheated oven until warmed throughout.
- You can bake your naan on a pizza stone. To use a pizza stone instead of a baking sheet, preheat your oven with the pizza stone in it. Then, assemble these easy naan pizzas on a pizza peel, and transfer to the pizza stone before baking 10-15 minutes until the crust is crispy and slightly golden.
- Other pizza topping options: basil pesto, goats cheese and mushroom, mixed vegetables, artichoke, spinach and red onion or roasted pumpkin and feta.
