FAQs (Because Life’s Too Busy for Guesswork)

What do you put on naan pizzas?

You can choose any toppings you would typically put on a pizza. I enjoy the classic cheese and pepperoni, a Hawaiian with ham and pineapple, or a meat lover's pizza filled with sausage, bacon, and pepperoni.

Are naan and flatbreads the same thing?

While they are not the same thing, naan is a type of flatbread. Flatbread is a category of bread, like pitas, naan, and tortillas.

Can I make these in the air fryer instead of the oven?

Yes, these pizzas turn out great in the air fryer. You'll want to cook them in a preheated 375°F air fryer for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on how crispy you'd like the crust.

Is there a way to get a crispy crust?

You want to bake your naan at 425°F, but you need to keep a close eye on it, as they will only take a few minutes to cook.

What are substitutions that I can make?

  • Freshly chopped oregano- you can always substitute dried oregano and sprinkle that on top of your pizzas once they are cooked.
  • Garlic naan- original naan or flatbread can be used if you don't like the garlic naan.

How should I store my naan pizza?

  • It is best to store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat them, I prefer to place them back in the oven or heat them in a toaster oven.  It helps add a little crispness and taste like when you first cooked them.  If you are short on time, you can always heat them in the microwave as well.

These flatbread pizzas can be made in the air fryer. Cook at 375°F for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on how crispy you want the crust.
For a crispier crust in the oven, bake the naan at 425°F and watch it closely, as it cooks quickly.
Garlic naan is optional. Plain naan or any flatbread works just fine if you prefer a more neutral base.
