How to make naan pizza

Here’s the thing. It’s not that easy to top naan bread! Here are our tips for preparing a naan pizza:

• Take your favorite naan (or leftover homemade naan). It’s the Indian flatbread that sits neatly wrapped in the bread or international grocery department. Try brands to find your favorite flavor and texture; they are all different. Or use leftovers from our garlic naan or vegan naan.
• Here’s the important part: Pre-cook the naan on the oven racks! You need to pre-cook the naan so the texture sticks like a pizza crust. If you skip this step, your crust will be way too soft. Bake directly on oven racks at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes, then flip and bake an additional 2 minutes.
• Spread toppings on top and cook for about 3 minutes. Then add the toppings and cook until the cheese melts. Speaking of trim…let’s talk.
