Introduction

This easy Peach & Basil Naan Bread Pizza combines sweet, fresh peaches with creamy mozzarella and fragrant basil for a delightful twist on traditional pizza. Ready in just 30 minutes, it’s perfect for a quick and impressive meal that’s bursting with flavor.

A single slice of pizza with a golden brown crust sits on a white plate with a beaded edge. The pizza slice has one visible thin layer of creamy white cheese on top of the crust. On top of the cheese are bright yellow peach slices and scattered dark green basil leaves. A dark brown balsamic glaze is drizzled over the peach slices and basil, adding glossy texture and contrast. The plate is set on a white marbled surface, and in the background, there are two peaches and a bunch of fresh basil leaves. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 large naan breads
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/2 fresh peach, thinly sliced
4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
15 basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic together.
Step 3: Brush the garlic oil mixture evenly over each naan bread.
Step 4: Place the naan breads on a greased or non-stick baking sheet.
Step 5: Arrange the sliced mozzarella over each naan.
Step 6: Layer the thin peach slices on top of the cheese.
Step 7: Season both naan breads with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8: Bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 9: (Optional) While baking, place the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook until it thickens slightly into a glaze.
Step 10: When the pizzas are done, sprinkle the chopped basil leaves evenly over the top.
Step 11: If using, drizzle the balsamic reduction over the pizzas, then cut and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
Swap fresh mozzarella for burrata for an extra creamy topping.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or cracked black pepper for a subtle heat.
Try fresh thyme or rosemary instead of basil for a different herbal note.
The balsamic reduction adds sweetness and tang but can be omitted for a lighter pizza.

Storage

Store any leftover naan bread pizzas covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 8–10 minutes to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

A single slice of pizza sits on a white plate with simple raised dots along the edge, placed on a white marbled surface. The pizza slice has a golden-brown thin crust with a slightly thicker and crisp edge on the right side. The base layer is a lightly toasted dough, topped with melted white ricotta cheese that has a soft and creamy texture. Large slices of yellow peach are spread evenly across the cheese, adding a juicy and soft layer. Dark green basil leaves are scattered on top, and the entire slice is drizzled with a glossy, dark brown balsamic glaze, creating a contrast between the creamy cheese and the shiny sauce.
