Naan, Indian style flatbread, is a great staple to have in your pantry. It can be found in pretty much any grocery store, but it is also pretty easy to make your own Naan.
Brush the naan with some melted butter and sprinkle with your favorite herbs before heating for a tasty side to accompany a bowl of soup, salad, or mussels.
Top the naan with your favorite pizza toppings, and you have a quick lunch or snack. Here are a couple of my favorite pizza ideas that can be made in a matter of minutes with just a few, simple ingredients.
Quick Margherita Flatbread
• Flatbread(s) (depending on number of servings)
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Pizza sauce (recipe below or use your favorite pizza sauce)
• Parmesan cheese, grated
• Fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place flatbread(s) on a baking sheet and brush with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Warm in the preheated oven about 5 minutes or so. Remove from oven and spread some pizza sauce on top of each naan. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese and top with shredded or small pieces of fresh mozzarella.
Return to oven and bake until cheeses have melted and flatbread is warm and slightly toasted. Slice into wedges with a pizza cutter and serve.
Quick Pizza Sauce
• 1 14 1/2 ounce can of drained diced tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
Place drained diced tomatoes in a food processor and process until thick sauce consistency. With motor on, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a stream and process until blended. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.
Quick Mushroom Flatbread
• Flatbread(s) (depending on number of servings)
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup diced onions
• 1 teaspoon chopped basil
• 1 teaspoon chopped oregano
• Parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place about a tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan. Over medium heat, sauté the mushrooms and onions until the onions are translucent. Remove from heat and add the herbs, stirring to combine.
Place flatbread(s) on a baking sheet. Brush with a little extra virgin olive oil. Warm in oven about 5 minutes to heat through.
Remove from oven and sprinkle the mushroom mixture over the naans. Top with Parmesan cheese. Bake until cheese has melted and flatbread is warm and slightly toasted. Slice into wedges with a pizza cutter and serve.
