Ingredients
- 1 piece Store-bought naan or flatbread
- 3 tablespoons Jarred marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 pieces Pepperoni slices (optional)
- 3 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Dried oregano
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or set your countertop toaster oven to high broil.
Step 2
Place the naan or flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 3
Spread the marinara or pizza sauce evenly over the top of the naan, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 4
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
Step 5
Add your desired toppings such as pepperoni slices or other favorites. For a classic Margherita-style, skip the pepperoni and plan to add fresh basil after baking.
Step 6
Drizzle the pizza lightly with olive oil for added flavor and sprinkle a pinch of salt and dried oregano across the top.
Step 7
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 4–6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra crispness, broil for the last 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if using.
Step 9
Slice into pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your ten-minute cheater's pizza!
