For an extra layer of flavor, try rubbing a cut garlic clove over the warm naan bread after baking. If you prefer a saucier pizza, feel free to spread a thin layer of your favorite tomato sauce (marinara or pesto) before adding the other toppings. Experiment with different types of cheese! Burrata, provolone, or even goat cheese would be delicious substitutions for mozzarella. To prevent the naan from becoming soggy, avoid overloading it with toppings. Fresh basil is best, but dried basil can be used in a pinch (use about 1 teaspoon). If you don't have prosciutto, salami or even cooked bacon would be a tasty alternative.
