Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 naan
- 3 tablespoons pizza sauce (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or to taste)
- 10 slices pepperoni (or to taste)
For Serving (Optional)
- Sliced tomatoes
- Jalapeno ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and position the rack to the top third of the oven to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Prepare Naan Base: Place the naan on a baking sheet to create a sturdy base for your pizza toppings.
- Add Toppings: Use a spoon to spread the pizza sauce evenly over the naan. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top and arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese layer.
- Bake Pizza: Bake the naan pizza uncovered for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the naan is crisp. For an extra golden and bubbly cheese topping, broil for an additional minute, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Serve: Transfer the pizza to a plate and slice with a chef’s knife. Optionally, top with fresh sliced tomatoes and serve alongside jalapeno ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- You can customize the toppings to your liking, adding vegetables or different cheeses.
- Keeping the baking rack near the top helps achieve a crispier crust and nicely melted cheese.
- Watch the pizza closely during broiling to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
