Prep: Slice your cherry tomatoes. Then, place your basil leaves on top of each other, roll them together, and cut them thinly.

Make the pizzas: Place your mini naan rounds on a baking sheet and evenly divide the pizza sauce over the mini rounds. Then evenly divide the shredded cheese, fresh tomato slices, and sliced basil over the mini pizzas. Season with black pepper.

Bake: Place in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges are golden brown for the perfect crispy pizza crust. Add tangy balsamic glaze and arugula to the top of the pizza.

Hint: To make these mini pizzas more personalized, set out a selection of toppings and let guests create their own custom pizzas. This is also a great option for picky eaters or dietary restrictions.

🥄 Variations to Caprese Naan pizza

• Use different types of cheese such as feta or gorgonzola for a more unique flavor.
• Try using different sauces like pesto or BBQ sauce instead of traditional pizza sauce.
• For a healthier option, use whole wheat mini naan rounds and load up on veggies as toppings.

🍶 Storing Fresh Tomato Pizza

Refrigerator Storage: Store any leftover mini naan pizzas in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer Storage: These mini naan pizzas can also be frozen for longer storage. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, place them back on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

💭Top Tips for Margherita Pizza

• Make sure your oven is preheated before adding your caprese pizzas. This ensures a crispy crust and melted cheese.
• Also, cut your toppings into small, uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly and fit well on the mini naan.
• Lastly, don't overload your pizzas with too many toppings or they may become soggy from excess moisture. Stick to a few favorites to ensure the best taste and texture.

❔FAQs about Caprese Pizzas

Q: Can I use other types of bread for the pizza base?

A: Absolutely! While this recipe utilizes naan for its convenience and unique flavor, you can experiment with other types of bread such as pita, flatbread, or even baguette slices or french bread. I like to use this 2 ingredient pizza dough to make pizzas low point. The cooking times may vary, so keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

Q: Can I make these pizzas vegan?

A: Certainly! You can substitute the regular cheese with vegan cheese, and ensure the rest of your toppings are plant-based. Everything else is vegan.

Q: How can I make these mini naan pizzas gluten-free?

A: For a gluten-free version of these pizzas, use gluten-free mini naan or another type of gluten-free flatbread. Make sure to check the labels of your other ingredients, especially sauces, as they can sometimes contain hidden gluten.
