Tips For The Best Naan Bread Pizza

Use Garlic And Coriander Naan

Garlic naan adds loads of extra flavour and makes the pizzas taste even better.

Don’t Overload The Toppings

Too many toppings can make the naan bread soggy.

Keep the toppings balanced so the base crisps up properly.

Bake Directly On A Hot Tray

A preheated baking tray helps the naan bread crisp underneath.

Use Good Mozzarella

Mozzarella melts beautifully and gives the pizza that classic stretchy cheese texture.
