Topic: Quick pizza using naan bread Posted: 17 Dec 2018 at 5:20pm |
In preparation for a planned February trip to the gulf coat, we tried this today and it was nice and quick and easy. We're not hearty eaters so you will want to check out the portions for yourselves.
For 2 2 pieces of naan bread about 10X7 inches Sauce About 1/2 C of drained diced tomatoes About 1/3 C of tomato sauce 1/8 tsp garlic powder 1/8 tsp salt 1/4 tsp oregano 1/4 tsp basil Toppings 3 or 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese The usual ground beef, olives, peperoni, etc. I quick-fried sliced napa cabbage leaves and green peppers, added the sauce and stirred to mix. Spread toppings on bread, cook at 400 deg F for 2 or 3 minutes until the cheese melts and its ready, and it was tastey! |

Pita bread also works well for a quick pizza. I have also split homemade Turkish Bazlama Bread and used that as a base for pizza. Title: Bazlama - Turkish Flat Bread
Yield: 4 servings Cooking Time: 15 minutes Preparation Time: 1/2 hour Category: Breads Cuisine: Mediterranean Source: sharwna Website: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe-Tools/Print/Recipe.aspx?recipeID=215599&origin=detail&servings=4&metric=false --- Ingredients --- 1 package active dry yeast (.25 oz) 1 Tbs white sugar 1 Tbs salt 1 1/2 c warm water (110 degrees F or 45 degrees C) 1/2 c Greek-style yogurt 4 c all-purpose flour --- Instructions --- 1. Dissolve the yeast, sugar, and salt in the warm water. Add the water and yogurt to the flour and mix well. The dough will be soft but not sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a ball. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow it to rise at room temperature for 3 hours. 2. Cut the dough into four portions. Shape the dough into rounds and flatten each round as though you're making pizza dough. Cover the rounds with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for 15 minutes. 3. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one dough round in the skillet and bake until brown spots appear on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip the bread and bake for an additional minute. Remove the bread and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. 4. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds. Store any leftover flatbreads in an airtight container. --- Notes --- "This simple flatbread gets its tang from yogurt. It's best served warm." ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © 2013 Allrecipes.com Printed from Allrecipes.com 6/15/2013 It can also be made with raw sugar substituted for the white sugar and whole wheat flour substituted for the all-purpose flour. I have also added some sourdough starter for additional flavor. When I make it, I usually divide it into eight portions. This makes a better size for us to use. The Bazlama bread is very similar to the bread used for the Doner Kebabs we had while we were stationed in West Berlin both before and after the reunification of Germany. |

Wow.
I'm sure it's very much tastier but I'm afraid only when time is not an issue. |

They can be made ahead and frozen also. Then it isn't too much different than buying naan at the store.
