What you’ll need

Gather 2 large naans, 100 g pizza sauce, 150 g shredded mozzarella, 50 g sliced pepperoni, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 6 fresh basil leaves, salt and black pepper.

Steps to assemble

Brush naan with oil, place oil-side down, spread sauce, season, top with cheese and pepperoni, cover and cook 4–6 minutes until cheese starts to melt. Optional: finish in 200°C/400°F oven for 3–5 minutes until bubbling and edges crisp.

Finishing touches and serving

Scatter torn basil over hot pizzas, slice, and serve immediately.

Ingredients

  • 2 each large naan breads
  • 100 g pizza sauce
  • 150 g shredded mozzarella
  • 50 g sliced pepperoni
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 6 leaves fresh basil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom.
  2. Brush one side of each naan with a little oil and place naan oil-side down in the skillet (work in batches if needed).
  3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the top of each naan.
  4. Season sauce lightly with salt, pepper, and sprinkle dried oregano over both naans.
  5. Scatter shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce on each naan.
  6. Top with sliced pepperoni, spacing pieces to cover the cheese.
  7. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and cook 4–6 minutes until cheese begins to melt and bottom is golden, lowering heat if browning too fast.
  8. If your skillet is ovenproof and you want extra browning, transfer to a preheated 200°C/400°F oven for 3–5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges crisp.
  9. Remove pizzas from the skillet, let sit 1 minute, then tear fresh basil leaves and scatter over the hot pizzas.
  10. Slice each naan pizza and serve immediately.
