Pizza dough is for the birds. Don’t get me wrong, I make pizza all the time for my kids using fresh pizza dough,but it’s a pain, and all they want on the pizza is cheese. So they get plain ol boring cheese pizza with leftovers for their lunch.
For the hubby and I, I make Naan pizza. You get 2 pieces in a package, so thats one for me and one for him. I love it because I can make my own personal “pizza” with all the toppings I want and then a personalized one for the hubs.
Have you not seen Naan in your stores. Mine keeps it by the deli.
Stonefire is my favorite, it has perfect texture and it somes in 3 different flavors, Original,Garlic and Whole grain. Pick up some Naan next time you are at the store. You will be pleasantly surprised at the delicious-ness and the million things you can do with it!
I have been buying their brand for a while now, but they did send me some for free!! Wahhooo, the perks of being a food blogger.
There is not much of a recipe, just throw what you like on your Naan. And throw it in a 400 degree oven until the cheese melts. Below is the recipe for my Naan Pizza
| Flatbread Naan White Pizza |
- 1 piece Naan
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
- pinch coarse Kosher salt
- Pinch pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chopped rosemary
- Onions, grilled
- Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half and grilled
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh mozzarella pearls
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Brush the Naan with the olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, salt, pepper and rosemary.
- Spread the ricotta mixture over the Naan.
- Top the pizza with the shredded mozzarella, onions, tomatoes, mozzarella pearls and basil.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
oo yum! looks great!
We make naan pizzas all the time from their garlic flavor. Price Rite has them for less than $2/package, so real inexpensive, too. Plus they freeze well, so you can stock up and be at the ready. Nice!
You know, I have seen Naan all the time, but never bought it. Not once did I think to make pizza from it – and I make pizza every week at our house! I will pick some up next week, that should be a nice change from the laboring of the pizza dough.
I have never seen it look so good! This is fabulous!
These look delicious! I actually made homemade crust for the first time last week, but typically I will use pita or naan as the crust to save time.
I love making pizza naan! Such a nice fast way to make pizza.
looks delicious and easy, I like that 🙂
What a good idea! Trying this one night soon. We both love white pizzas, and I’m always up for an easy dinner.
Funny, I am doing a flatbread pizza post this week too. Love this idea!
Love, love, love pizza!! Gorgeous photos, Leslie!
Ooooh! I’m all about home-made personalized pizzas…and marrying that with naan bread? GENIUS!
This is a fab idea! So tasty looking!
Oh, WOW – now we’re talking. Using Naan for the crust is a great idea! I love to use roasted tomatoes instead of sauce on my pizza and have plans to try making some home-made Naan, but you know what they say about plans. Your pizzas look sublime. Thanks for the cool idea.
More than delicious, it looks superb! This is what I’ll do next time I bake some naan.
That looks like a great choice for some quick and easy pizza’s! But, I still love my homemade Napoletano Pizza baked fast in a scorching hot oven! 🙂
Your flatbread look so scrumptious and extremely tempting! I love your choice of toppings.
Cheers,
Rosa
No one in my family likes my pizza toppings. I love the personal pizza idea.
This sounds great. Especially on Naan bread!
i was talking to a friend of mine about this exact thing today… i will definitely give it a try over the weekend… nice pictures
LOVE the yummy simplicity of this recipe. I linked to this in my Yummy Chatter post today! 🙂
This naan pizza looks absolutely delicious! All of that mozzarella flowing off the sides!!!! YUMMY!
I love Naan! This looks absolutely incredible and I just ate dinner, so that is totally saying something.
Leslie, this is such a fantastic recipe!!
Hi Leslie, Thanks for the inspiration…this looks like a quick and easy dinner for tonight!
That is one nice and fresh looking pizza!
