Ingredients

4 to 6 baked naan breads (purchased or homemade)
½ to ¾ cup pizza sauce
1 to 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, fontina, Gouda, and Jack cheese melt well) ¼
Toppings of choice see notes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F. See the notes if you want a crispy crust.
Place the naan bread on a baking sheet. Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over the top of each naan bread.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
Add toppings of choice. You only need a small handful of toppings per pizza. If you get carried away and make the toppings too thick, the pizzas will take longer to bake and the crust can burn.
Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until the cheese melts and gets bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil and crushed red pepper if desired.

Notes

Use a small handful of toppings per pizza. Too many toppings will increase bake time and may burn the crust.
Tip for crispy crust: Bake naan directly on the oven rack for 2–3 minutes per side before adding toppings.
All meat should be fully cooked before assembling. Most raw vegetables won’t cook through; pre-cook them as needed.
Pizza oven instructions: Preheat to 450°F to 500°F. Bake directly on the stone, turning every 45–60 seconds until the cheese melts.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
Reheating: Thaw before reheating at 350°F for 5–8 minutes, or bake from frozen at 325°F for 15 minutes.

Topping Ideas:

Meaty options: pepperoni, cooked sausage, prosciutto, crumbled bacon, diced ham, leftover steak, roast beef, pulled pork

Veggie options: mushrooms, red onion, roasted tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts, spinach, red peppers (raw or roasted), pineapple bits, basil leaves

Sauce options: marinara, white garlic sauce, pesto, herbed olive oil, barbecue sauce
