3-Cheese Tomato and Basil Naan Pizza
Simple goodness.
Naan bread tastes so good and the soft chewy texture makes a delicious crust for personal size pizzas.
Naan comes in various shapes such as teardrop, round or oval which adds a nice rustic appeal to a flatbread pizza.
This naan bread pizza recipe is a simple one.
It’s made with 3 types of cheese (mozzarella, ricotta and Parmesan cheese), fresh cherry or teardrop tomatoes and fresh basil.
Olive oil is drizzled over the naan bread with granulated garlic sprinkled on top.
The light taste of olive oil and hint of garlic is a wonderful backdrop to the cheese, tomatoes and basil.
This naan pizza is fairly light and goes great with a dinner salad or soup.
Or it would make a delicious appetizer too by cutting each pizza into quarters.
