Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 naan flatbreads
- 2.5 cups (591 ml) white mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup (118 ml) ricotta cheese
- ⅓ cup (79 ml) mozzarella cheese, shredded
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small jalapeno, seeds and germs removed, minced
Seasonings and Extras:
- 3 to 5 tablespoons (45 to 75 ml) butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Spray of water for the naan bread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C), preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal crisping of the naan base.
- Delicately dampen the naan bread surface with a light water mist, then gently pat dry to ensure a perfectly crisp foundation for the pizza.
- Create caramelized onions by melting butter in a skillet over medium heat. Introduce sliced onions, seasoning with salt and pepper, and drizzle honey to develop a rich, golden-brown color. Cook until the onions become translucent and deeply caramelized, then transfer to a separate bowl.
- In the same skillet, add remaining butter and sauté mushrooms until they develop a deep golden-brown color and release their natural moisture, intensifying their earthy flavor.
- Spread a smooth layer of ricotta cheese across the naan surface, creating a creamy base for the upcoming toppings.
- Distribute the caramelized onions evenly over the ricotta, followed by the browned mushrooms and finely chopped jalapenos for a spicy kick.
- Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the toppings, ensuring complete coverage for a melty, indulgent finish.
- Transfer the prepared naan pizzas to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a crispy naan edge and fully melted, bubbling cheese.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then slice and serve immediately to enjoy the perfect blend of crispy, creamy, and spicy flavors.
Notes
- Caramelized onions and earthy mushrooms create a sophisticated base that perfectly balances the zesty jalapeno’s heat.
- Ricotta and mozzarella melt together, creating a creamy, golden layer that ties all the vibrant ingredients into one irresistible bite.
