How to Make Naan Bread Pizza

You’ll need only a few ingredients and supplies to have a remarkable pizza dinner. To get started making this pizza you’ll need the basics which are Naan bread, pizza sauce and cheese.
Ingredients for Easy Naan Bread Pizza
Naan Bread: In our family, we love making our own pizzas with the Member’s Mark Original Stone Baked Naan. These flat breads have a great flavor with the chars and bubbles, which makes this pizza taste even better.
Tip: You can find this Naan at Sam’s club online and in stores in the bakery department.
Pizza Sauce: We love using homemade pizza sauce when we have it, but if we are out, we opt to use Rao’s Pizza Sauce. This sauce has an outstanding homemade taste which makes the pizza taste authentic. Use as much sauce or as little as you like, since it stores well in the refrigerator.
Mozzarella / Provolone Cheese Mix: You can use full mozzarella cheese on your pizza, but we prefer to use a mozzarella/provolone cheese blend (low-moisture is best) on ours. You can find this in bulk at Sam’s Club in stores or online. If you prefer, you can use fresh mozzarella slices as well for an extra cheese naan pizza!
Toppings for Naan Bread Pizza
While naan bread toppings like the traditional cheese and pepperoni are always good on pizza, sometimes it’s fun for your taste buds to mix it up a bit with some other, more unique flavors.
Have a look below at some of my favorite pie toppings that can take your own naan pizza to the next level. If you ask my kids thought they only want pepperoni pizza every time so to each their own!
Pizza Topping Ideas To Make Deluxe Naan Bread Pizza
- Basil: Fresh basil from the garden is best for pizza, but from the shaker will work too.
- Freshly Grated Parmesan: Nothing is better on pizza than freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Fresh Mozzarella Slices: Chunks of melted mozzarella on pizza is always a good choice for an additional topping.
- Sliced Onions: The flavor that red onions on pizza gives is superb, so you can’t go wrong with this topping on your Naan Bread!
- Red Pepper Flakes: Sprinkle this on before or after making your pizza for added zing.
- Sliced Banana Peppers: Banana peppers take the flavor of your Naan pizza to the next level!
- Sliced or Diced Bell Peppers: Red, Orange, Yellow or Green peppers all would be perfect as a pizza topping to give it a step-up on flavor.
- Plain or Garlic Chicken: Shredded chicken is wonderful as a pizza topping. We love to use rotisserie chicken, which you can also find at Sam’s Club, with garlic salt or powder on top.
