Naan Pizza




Prep time:      15 minutes
Cook time:     30-45 minutes
Cost:               ~$10
Makes:           3-6 servings

I had some naan bread left over from my last recipe, so I decided to make three different types of pizza. Naan bread is great to use as a pizza crust, because they are the perfect size for individual pizzas.

Pizza is an easy meal to make, but I am including this recipe to give you ideas of different toppings you can put on your pizzas. The possibilities are endless!
