Ingredients
CRUST:
- 1-2 medium garlic naan breads, store-bought or homemade
WHITE GARLIC SAUCE:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 ½ cups organic heavy cream
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
TOPPINGS:
- 2-3 Tbsps Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (See Notes!)
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced thin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit and place top rack into the middle of oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
TO MAKE THE WHITE GARLIC SAUCE:
- In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté until translucent and fragrance. Add in the heavy cream, grated parmesan, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, whisking until combined, thickened, and smoothed.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
ASSEMBLY:
- Add the garlic naan bread slices unto the prepared baking sheet, about 1-inch apart. Add a bit of the white garlic sauce unto the top of centers of each naan bread and evenly spread it out using a spoon until generously covered.
- Generously add pieces of fresh mozzarella atop the white sauce, followed by the Everything Bagel seasoning, generously sprinkling it atop everything.
- Gently transfer the naan bread 'pizzas' to the hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or so, until the cheese has melted (and becomes bubbly) and the naan bread is crispy and golden brown.
- Once done, allow pizzas to rest/cool for a few minutes (about 2-3 minutes) so that the cheese sets before cutting into generous square/rectangular slices, using a pizza cutter.
- Bon Appetit!
Notes
- STORAGE: Leftover pizza is best kept tightly wrapped in foil paper, refrigerated for 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
- EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING (STORAGE): This original recipe makes about ¼ cup, however, you can always make a larger batch of this and store it in an airtight container in a dry, cool place for up to 6 months. SEE POST FOR MEASUREMENTS.
- DAIRY-FREE OPTION: To make this pizza dairy-free, simply substitute the unsalted butter with vegan butter, the heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk/cream, and the cheeses for dairy-free shreds. Also, ensure that the naan bread is vegan-friendly.
