Ingredients:

  • 4 pieces (approx. 3 oz / 85g each) store-bought garlic or plain naan bread
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) thick pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups (170g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz (115g) pepperoni slices or cooked sausage
  • 1/4 cup (10g) thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup (15g) fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the naked naan breads in the oven for 2 minutes until they feel slightly firm to the touch to prevent a soggy center.
  3. Brush the outer edges of each naan with olive oil to ensure a golden-brown crust.
  4. Spread 2 tbsp (30ml) of sauce on each base, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
  5. Layer the mozzarella cheese first, then arrange the pepperoni slices and thinly sliced red onions on top.
  6. Bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese has golden-brown spots and the edges are toasted.
  7. Optional: Switch to the broiler for the final 60 seconds for a blistered cheese effect.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish with torn fresh basil leaves and dried oregano.
