The Spice Tailor Naan Pizzas 2 Ways

The Spice Tailor Naan Pizzas 2 Ways

I have never thought of using naan bread as a pizza base before until recently. In essence a pizza is a topped flat bread isn’t it? So, this makes sense to me. I am sure pizza purists will disagree but I think it’s a great way of getting your pizza fix at home when you can’t make it out to your local independent pizza restaurant.

The Spice Tailor naan breads have already been hand stretched and flame baked in a tandoor oven so you get that smoked feel that you get when you have freshly baked pizza.

My recipes below aren’t particularly authentic but they are a fresh and tasty way of adding to you 5 a day by topping the naan with lots of yummy organic veggies. Plus, (which is very important in Tara’s Busy Kitchen) they are full of flavour. You need to give them a try and see for yourself.

Don’t feel you have to limit yourself to the toppings I have suggested here either. How about topping your naan with fresh pesto, mozzarella and sundried tomatoes for an Italian theme. Maybe you fancy going a bit Greek with feta, olives and spinach? You can be as creative as you like. Don’t forget to share any stand out combinations in the comment section below. Happy making!
