Mini Naan Pizzas
Ingredients
- 4 naan breads
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese of choice
- Your favourite toppings (e.g. sliced peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni, onions, spinach, olives)
- Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven: Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Assemble the pizzas: Place naan on the baking sheet. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each. Or more if you like to super saucy!
3. Add toppings: Sprinkle cheese evenly, then add your choice of toppings.
4. Bake: Place in the oven for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Slice and enjoy hot!
Variations & Substitutions
- Dairy-free: Use plant-based cheese.
- Protein boost: Add cooked chicken or tofu.
- Mediterranean-style: Use hummus instead of pizza sauce, top with olives, feta, and spinach.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overload with toppings. Too much moisture can make the naan soggy.
- For extra-crispy crust, bake naan for 2–3 minutes before adding sauce and toppings.
- Let kids assemble their own pizzas for a fun family dinner night.
Storage & Reheating
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Bake at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, or microwave for 30 seconds (oven is best for crispiness).
- Freezer: Assemble pizzas (uncooked), freeze on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake straight from frozen for 12–14 minutes.

FAQs: Mini Naan Pizzas
Yes! Use full-size naan for a larger pizza—just adjust the baking time by a couple of minutes. The ones I use are regular size but I call them mini compared to a normal pizza!
