When I was in India a few years back the family we were staying with attempted to make our group something “familiar” for dinner. The result was a very interesting, um, pizza? Hmmmm didn’t taste – or look – quite right.

But in honor of the beautiful country of India I decided to make my own version of an “Indian Pizza.” This version is a little more Americanized :) The secret ingredient?  Naan bread. Naan is flat and the perfect size for a personal pizza. It comes in regular white and whole wheat. Pick the whole wheat! You can find it by the deli counter at most major grocery stores now – HEB, Whole Foods and Central Market.

I love going to this simple pizza recipe when Ben and I want to have a laid back night at home or when we have a coupe of last minute guests come over. Its fast, easy, and delicious.

This is also a great dinner option if you have kids who are old enough to help in the kitchen (including your significant other)! Its so easy and fun to top your personalized pizza with ingredients :)

How to Create Your Pizza!

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F
  2. Place naan slices on a pizza sheet (2 at a time will fit)
  3. Slather the naan with a good pizza sauce – like Cento – and then top with whatever you like

Be as simple or gourmet as you please. My favorite is pepperoni slices from the deli, baby spinach leaves, mushroom slices and black olives.  If you want to be a little more decadent, then go with very thin prosciutto slices instead of pepperoni. Or go all veggie with spinach, peppers, artichoke hearts and olives.  You’re options for toppings are limitless!

Enjoy!
