Steps to Make a Naan Pizza in an Air Fryer
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Brush your naan bread lightly with olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.
- Spread homemade marinara sauce evenly on the naan bread.
- Choose your favorite pizza toppings. For a traditional pizza, add a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle parmesan cheese, and add toppings like diced onions, and bell peppers.
- Place the prepared naan pizza into the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the naan pizzas in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning, as cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model and the number of toppings used.
- The pizza is ready when the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the naan are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the naan pizzas from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Optionally, garnish your pizza with fresh basil or arugula.
Steps to Make a Naan Pizza in an Oven
Making a naan pizza at home comes down to five simple steps:
- Preheat your oven and quickly toast naan bread for a crisper crust (This step is optional but beneficial).
- Arrange the semi-toasted naan on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread your chosen pizza sauce across the naan evenly. Ensure every bite has the perfect sauce to dough ratio.
- Time to dress up your pizza naan. Decorate it with your favorite toppings, and don't forget the cheese! Sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and parmesan generously.
- Bake the naan pizza for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and turns golden. Take caution not to burn the crust.
- Remove it from the oven, and cut into slices. Serve warm and enjoy this delectable panoply of flavors.
