This is one of my favorite friday night dishes. This pizza is quick, simple and delicious. Instead of making the pizza dough from scratch I decided to use naan bread for the pizza base. Using naan bread not only saves time but it is great for portion control. The only difference between this recipe and most pizza recipes is that It doesn't include a tomato sauce on the base. I don't like the sogginess that comes from the sauce, but feel free to try it with the sauce as it will still yield good results.

Ingredients

  • naan breads: 2 piece
  • olive oil: 2 tsp (or as needed)
  • green onion: 1 piece (sliced)
  • garlic: 1 clove (chopped)
  • mozzarella cheese: 8 slices
  • Roma tomato: 1 piece (sliced)
  • salt and ground black pepper: 0 piece (to taste)
  • prosciutto: 1 slice (sliced)
  • basil: 6 leaves (chopped, fresh)
  • Parmesan cheese: 2 Tbsp (grated)

History of the Naan Bread Margherita Pizza with Prosciutto The Naan Bread Margherita Pizza with Prosciutto is a modern twist on the traditional Margherita pizza, which was created in 1889 in Naples, Italy. The Margherita pizza was first made to honor Queen Margherita of Savoy, and it was meant to resemble the colors of the Italian flag. The Naan Bread Margherita Pizza with Prosciutto takes the classic Margherita ingredients and adds a few tasty extras - prosciutto and parmesan cheese - while using naan bread as the base.

Tips and Tricks for Naan Bread Margherita Pizza with Prosciutto Recipe When making the Naan Bread Margherita Pizza with Prosciutto, it's important to choose the right type of naan bread. Look for naan bread that is fresh and has a slight chewiness to it - this will ensure that it crisps up nicely in the oven. You can use any brand of naan bread, but make sure that it is the plain variety without additional toppings or flavors. Additionally, keep an eye on the pizza as it cooks, making sure that the cheese doesn't burn.

Tips for presenting the dish To make the Naan Bread Margherita Pizza with Prosciutto look extra special, add a few finishing touches before serving. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the top of the pizza for a shiny finish, and sprinkle on some extra parmesan cheese and basil leaves. Cut the pizza into thin slices and serve on a large wooden cutting board or platter for an appetizer or snack. Alternatively, serve the individual pizzas on small plates for a sit-down dinner.
