    I like to use mini naan breads for the kids, but you can use normal size naans if that suits you!

    Pepperoni-style pizza toppings are a favourite in this house, but really anything goes! The cheesier the better though!

    • Quick and easy mini pizza recipe - just 10 minutes in total.
    • Prep the ingredients ahead of time to make it even more speedy.
    • Vary the toppings based on what ingredients you have/like.
    • Kid-friendly dinner.

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Ingredients for mini naan bread pizza recipe.
    • Naan Bread - use 4 plain mini naan breads or 2 regular size naans.
    • Pizza Sauce - store-bought pizza sauce or tomato puree and red pesto instead.
    • Cheese - grated mozzarella, or swap for cheddar.
    • Pepperoni - use mini or regular pepperoni slices.
    • Basil - leaves torn for garnish.

    🔪 How to make naan pizza

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    One: Lay the mini naan breads on a non-stick baking tray and spoon over the pizza sauce.

    💭 Expert tips

    • Crispy naan bread pizza - make your crust crispier by pre-baking your naan for 3-4 minutes in the oven before adding the toppings. Return to the oven for a further 4 minutes to melt the cheese.
    • Use different cheeses on your pizza! Cheddar, gruyere, or Parmesan would all melt nicely. Basically, anything that melts will work on these!
    • Make a healthy naan bread pizza - use half-fat cheese and wholemeal naan bread.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    Serve the naan bread pizza with air fryer sweet potato fries and air fryer corn on the cob for a filling and healthy meal.

    In the winter I like to serve the mini pizza with soup for a delicious and warming lunch (try my curried parsnip and apple soup!).

    🥡 Storage

    Store: Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and eaten cold or reheated.

    Reheat: Use an air fryer or hot oven to reheat your pizza. Don't use a microwave - it will just go soggy!

    Freeze: Freeze the pizzas once assembled, uncooked in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.  Bake from frozen for 15 minutes.

    ❓ Frequently asked questions

    Is naan bread similar to pizza dough?

    The key difference between pizza dough and naan bread is that naan bread is an enriched dough that contains dairy. They have a slightly different texture from one another. Ready-made naan bread makes a great pizza base!
