Easy Naan Bread Pizzas! Speedy homemade pizza made in just 15 minutes. Top however you desire with all your favourite pizza toppings! A great kid-friendly recipe too.
Homemade pizza is one of the best foods, but can be a lengthy process and take a fair bit of time to prepare. That’s why today, we’re cutting some corners and making homemade pizza in just 15 minutes!
I usually enjoy a naan bread alongside a delicious plateful of curry, but I soon discovered they also make fantastic pizza bases.
As with lots of pizzas, the topping choices are endless. I went for a classic American-style hot pizza with pepperoni slices and homegrown jalapeños. You can keep these pizzas simple with just tomato and cheese, or top with cooked chicken, bell pepper slices, and some Cajun spice (one of our other favourites), or even just with a combination of roasted vegetables.
In my household, we work different shifts, so sometimes we eat dinner later in the evening. Easy and super speedy dinners like this are great when we’re eating later and don’t have a lot of time on our hands to make something extravagant. It also stops us ordering food in, so we eat a healthier version of our takeaway favourites.
Plus, when you get a pizza craving but don’t want the cost that comes with ordering a takeaway, then this recipe will save you both time and money!
With this simple and easy recipe you’ll need just a handful of ingredients.
Naan Bread/Flatbread – This is a really quick and easier alternative to preparing homemade pizza dough. I went for a supermarket’s own brand of naan bread. You could also use a flatbread instead of naan bread – baking time might differ by a couple of minutes.
Pizza Sauce/Passata – I use pizza sauce, but add additional seasonings. These seasonings include garlic granules/powder and dried oregano. If you can’t find pizza sauce, passata makes a great substitution.
Mozzarella – I use a mozzarella and cheddar blend, but just mozzarella will work too. I go for ready grated cheese, which saves time!
Toppings – These are down to personal preference. I went for a pepperoni pizza topper, sliced jalapeño, plus an extra sprinkle of dried oregano.
