These tasty naan pizzas are made with store-bought thin crust that gets nice and crispy. Just add your favorite toppings and dinner’s ready in a jiffy.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit, or higher. The key to a crispy crust is high heat. Use a pizza stone if you have one, and heat it up well and good. I use two stacked baking trays to increase the conductivity and heft of my cooking surface, and to prevent the bottom from burning too easily before the toppings are cooked. You can put the naan pizzas directly on the tray or use a parchment paper lining. This shouldn’t be a messy operation, so it is up to you.
Meanwhile, add the toppings to your pizza, starting with the sauce, and following the order that the ingredients are listed in the recipe. Mind the items that are meant for garnish. Cooked tomatoes are suggested only for the beef pizza.
Bake the pizzas for 10-15 minutes, until you can see the toppings are browning or even charring a bit. Remove from oven and transfer onto a cutting board. Add the garnishes and then slice into quarters using a large knife or pizza cutter. Enjoy!
Notes
Use any store-bought tomato pizza sauce. To use pesto instead, see recipes for basil pesto or blanched arugula pesto. You can purchasefake meat beef crumbles almost everywhere these days, and you can use it straight up as a pizza topping. Any leftovers can be used in a vegetable hash, or a bean chili. Pita bread is even thinner than naan, and it gets even crispier in the oven than naan.
