My mum inspired this one. She decided to buy Indian naan bread one day and thought we could make pizzas with them.
I love all kinds of naan bread. It's delicious and it makes excellent pizza bread. This is me turning something healthy into something fattening as hell. Honestly, though, I could just eat naan bread without anything on it - especially garlic naan.
Well, I had a naan bread pizza for lunch today.
So, this is basically what I like to put on my pizza:
- canned tomato sauce [with herbs]
- hand-grated or sliced mozzarella cheese [monterey jack cheese is a decent substitute, but it's more fattening than mozzarella]
- chopped onions [yellow and white onions are the best on pizza, in my opinion, and for cooking in general. I would not suggest using red onions, as they taste better when raw. Cooking red onions sort of takes away their flavour.]
- sliced pepperoni [spicy good!]
- chopped/sliced black olives [one of my most favourite foods ever - black olives - and unfortunately, I did not have those to put on my pizza today. *sad face*]
Before I top my pizza, I toast the bread in the toaster oven for maybe two minutes, just so that it warms up a bit. We always keep the bread in the freezer, as it lasts longer.
After the bread is done slightly toasting, I lay it out on a baking sheet with a little bit of cooking oil [olive, canola, etc], so as the pizza won't stick and the cheese that may droop off will not burn as much.
I then top my pizza with whatever I please and bake it in the toaster oven.
Temperature: 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees celcius)
Time: 10-15 minutes
Make sure you check on it, so that you don't burn the damn thing! And if it's not done by the time you set it at, then leave it in for an extra 5 minutes, keeping an eye on it.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention! If you're one of those people, like myself, who enjoys a crap ton of extra toppings - go for it. I layered my pizza with as much cheese and pepperoni to shoot my cholesterol levels through the roof. I do enjoy eating as healthy as I can, but it's so much fun when I don't.
And there you have it, people...
Yummy-as-hell pizza. And you made it all by yourself. You should be so proud because it was so damn easy, you didn't have to worry about setting the kitchen on fire - unless you're really incompetent, I feel for you. All you should have to worry about is the huge ass mess you made, getting grated cheese all over the floor. Good job. Let the dog clean it up, I say.
