Quick Margherita Naan Pizzas
Instructions
1
|
Preheat oven to 425°F.
2
|
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
|
Arrange the naan on the baking sheet. Drizzle an equal amount of the olive oil over the surface of each piece.
4
|
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.
5
|
Slice the mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
6
|
Halve the tomato and remove and discard the seeds. Dice tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
7
|
Finely mince the garlic.
8
|
Stack the basil leaves and roll into a tight log. Make very thin slices across the log to create ribbons.
9
|
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.
10
|
Bake pizzas on middle rack of oven until the naan is crisp and the cheese is bubbly and golden, 12-14 minutes.
11
|
Check to see that pizzas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
12
|
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.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Mozzarella Melting Magic 🧀For perfectly melted mozzarella, tear the cheese into small, irregular pieces to ensure even melting and create beautiful, rustic cheese coverage.
- Naan Crisping Technique 🔥Lightly brush the naan with olive oil before adding toppings to help achieve a crispy, golden-brown base that mimics authentic pizza crust.
- Fresh Basil Pro Tip 🌿Add fresh basil leaves after baking to preserve their vibrant color and intense flavor, preventing wilting and maintaining maximum aromatics.
- Sauce Spreading Trick 🥫Use the back of a spoon to spread pizza sauce in a thin, even layer, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent soggy naan edges.
- Elevated Finishing Touch 🧂Sprinkle high-quality sea salt flakes just before serving to add a luxurious crunch and enhance the overall flavor profile of your naan pizza.
