If I'm having an epic Pizza craving it's so easy to give in to a scrumptious but oh so greasy pie from my favorite Italian place (think Ray's, Gino's, Rosati's, Streets of New York etc)...yum! Or even worse a frozen pizza topped to the brim with nitrate laden sausage and pepperoni! It tastes great going in but once it's in your body it's not doing great things for you anymore...bleh :( It's easy to switch it up with a pizza that is yum to eat, easy to prepare and made with quality ingredients. If you've never tried Naan bread, now is the time!! It's an Indian bread traditionally cooked in a stone hearth like pit over an open fire, much like pita bread in texture, it's gets a nice crisp when cooked in the oven and it's so tastey! You'll only need a few ingredients to put together this delight. :)
Kale Garlic Naan Pizza
Ingredients:
~Naan Bread in Garlic
~Pizza Sauce
~Mozzarella Cheese
~Baby Kale
~Spices to Taste (I used Basil, Oregano, Pepper, Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes)
*Use Organic ingredients whenever possible
I preheated the oven to 425 degrees and put the premade Naan bread on a baking sheet. Spread a thin to medium layer of sauce, spices, cheese, kale, and more spices on top to taste. I baked for 10-12 mins until cheese was melted and Naan was crisp. It doesn't take very long (Careful Naan can burn quickly!) Also it it is best to go light on the sauce so the Naan isn't soggy. :)
The traditional way to cook a Naan pizza is with spicy Arugula leaves and Goat cheese. I'm a Kale lover but the Arugula and Goat cheese is equally good!
Check out the the interesting way Naan is cooked in a Tandoor! You can go to an Indian restaurant for fresh hot Naan. mmm.
The calories in Naan bread are about equal to regular pizza if not possibly a little higher, but I believe quality and organic ingredients over compensates health wise for a few extra calories. :)
Tell me know if you love! Enjoy!
