2. Ingredients for Quick Margherita Naan Pizzas
- 4 pieces Naan bread
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2/3 cup (5.5oz) pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 8oz. fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1 large tomato, optional
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 basil leaves
- Flaky sea salt
3. Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the naan on the baking sheet. Drizzle an equal amount of the olive oil over the surface of each piece.
- Spread a generous 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly onto the center of each naan piece, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the sauce.
- Slice the mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Halve the tomato and remove and discard the seeds. Dice tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Finely mince the garlic.
- Stack the basil leaves and roll into a tight log. Make very thin slices across the log to create ribbons.
- Distribute mozzarella equally between each piece of naan. Add the diced tomato, minced garlic, and half of the basil leaves. Reserve remaining basil for garnish.
- Bake pizzas on middle rack of oven until the naan is crisp and the cheese is bubbly and golden, 12-14 minutes.
- Check to see that pizzas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
- Allow pizzas to cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with reserved basil ribbons and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, then slice and serve. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
