Ingredients:
- 1 package (4-6 pieces) Stonefire Naan bread
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of your choice! (suggestions below)
Topping Suggestions:
- Veggie Lover's: Sliced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, olives
- Meat Lovers: Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham, ground beef
- Mediterranean Delight: Sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, oregano
- Spicy Fiesta: Jalapeños, chorizo, red onions, cilantro
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your naan pizza cooks evenly and gets perfectly crispy.
-
Prepare your naan: Lay the Stonefire Naan bread on a baking sheet. If using a large naan, you may want to cut it in half to create two smaller pizzas.
-
Spread the sauce: Evenly spread a thin layer of pizza sauce onto each naan bread, leaving a small border for the crust. Don't overload it; you want a balanced flavor.
-
Add the cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
-
Get creative with toppings: Now's the time to unleash your inner pizza chef! Arrange your favorite toppings over the cheese. Don't overcrowd the pizza, as this can make it soggy.
-
Bake to perfection: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown, and the crust is crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
-
Cool slightly and serve: Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade Stonefire Naan pizza!
Tips for the Perfect Naan Pizza:
- Don't over-sauce: Too much sauce can make the naan soggy. Less is more!
- Use fresh toppings: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will significantly enhance the flavor of your pizza.
- Pre-cook meats: If using meats like sausage or bacon, pre-cook them before adding them to the pizza to ensure they're fully cooked.
- Experiment with cheeses: Try different cheeses like provolone, parmesan, or a blend of cheeses for a unique flavor profile.
Variations:
- Garlic Naan Pizza: Brush the naan with garlic butter before adding toppings for an extra layer of flavor.
- White Garlic Pizza: Skip the tomato sauce and use a garlic cream sauce instead. Top with mozzarella, spinach, and grilled chicken for a gourmet twist.
- Dessert Pizza: Spread Nutella or a similar chocolate hazelnut spread on the naan, top with marshmallows and bake until the marshmallows are melted and gooey.
