    🥄 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.

    🍽️ What to Serve With Homemade Caprese Pizza Recipe

    🍶 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.
