Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large naan breads
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 fresh peach, thinly sliced
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 15 basil leaves, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the naan pizzas.
- Prepare oil and garlic mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic, mixing well to infuse the oil with garlic flavor.
- Brush the naan: Using a brush or spoon, evenly coat both naan breads with the garlic-infused olive oil.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the coated naan breads on a non-stick or sprayed cookie sheet, preparing them for toppings and baking.
- Add mozzarella: Layer the sliced fresh mozzarella evenly over each naan bread, ensuring good coverage for melting.
- Top with peaches: Place the thinly sliced peach pieces on top of the cheese to add a sweet and juicy contrast.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over both naan breads to enhance the flavors.
- Bake: Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Prepare balsamic reduction (optional): While the pizzas bake, pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan, bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook until it thickens slightly into a glaze.
- Add basil: After baking, sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over the hot naan pizzas for freshness.
- Serve: If using, drizzle the balsamic reduction over the pizzas. Cut into slices and serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh mozzarella for best melting results.
- The balsamic reduction adds a sweet tang but is optional if you prefer a simpler pizza.
- Keep an eye on the baking pizzas near the end of cooking to prevent burning.
- You can substitute peaches with other fruits like nectarines or even thinly sliced pears.
