I sure do love pizza, but I sure do not like to wait for the dough to rise. Ben is actually chief pizza-man around these parts, and he really makes a mean pizza dough recipe (he wants to share it here on the blog, what do you think? Does the internet need yet another pizza dough recipe?)
So weeknight pizza options have always been: Ben makes the pizza dough (and we wait for the darn thing to rise), or we buy some pizza dough from the Italian deli (which is a 15-minute drive away). Or we order pizza from the place at the end of our road (how dangerous is that?!)
Now a new option emerges: use naan bread (or any flat bread for that matter), and have this naan pizza recipe on our plates in under 20 minutes!
This naan pizza recipe pretty much rocked my world. They took barely any time to prep, and only 2 minutes to cook. You read that right: TWO MINUTES!
I’ve made these a few different ways: a) on the barbecue: just put the loaded naan bread directly on the BBQ grate, close the lid, and cook for 2 minutes until the cheese is all melty and awesome, or b) under the broiler in the oven (on a cookie sheet as shown above). 1-2 minutes for the broiler.
Are you starting to love this naan pizza recipe thing as much as me? I sure hope so!

2 minutes? You’ve convinced me!! I’m so hungry anyway!
It’s so easy! Thanks, Beth!
LOVE that you used one chicken recipe for three meals! That’s such a great idea! And these naan bread pizzas sound fantastic – 2 minutes!! That’s amazing.
Thanks, Stacey! I was tired of making a huge batch in the slow cooker and having so many left-overs!
Thai on naan – love this idea! Flatbread pizza is one of my favorites, can’t wait to try this!
Ha ha maybe I should call it Thai-Indian-Italian fusion cuisine? Thanks, Jenny!
I love using tortillas for a pizza crust, but this naan crust looks absolutely delish! What a pretty pizza!
I’ve never tried tortillas, sounds like a great idea (I always seem to have extras lying around). Thanks, Sara!
I love naan pizzas and this thai curry version sounds incredible!
What a delicious way to fuse together Thai and Indian flavors! And I love that you used naan bread for the crust. 🙂
I haven’t tried using naan bread as crust before, but one thing’s for sure, I will definitely try this!
I love all the flavors. This looks fantastic!
The best recipe I’ve made from Pinterest. The honey lime chicken is wonderful by itself! But the yogurt combo with the chicken, veggies and cheese on the NAAN? Amazing. My 13 year old so couldn’t get enough. I added a little cilantro on top.
Kirsten, thank-you so much <3 You've totally made my day! Putting yogurt on pizza sounds pretty strange, doesn't it? I'm happy you gave it a try and even happier that you liked it so much!
