# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It turns dinner around in under 25 minutes without sacrificing that crispy, cheesy satisfaction you crave.
  • The garlic butter soaks into the naan and creates edges so golden and crunchy they rival any wood fired crust.
  • You can raid your fridge for toppings and it still tastes intentional, like you planned it all along.
02 -
  • Don't overload the naan with sauce or toppings or it will turn soft and floppy instead of crisp.
  • Brushing garlic butter all the way to the edges ensures those corners get golden and crunchy, which is the best part.
  • If your naan is frozen, let it thaw completely first or it won't crisp up properly in the oven.
03 -
  • For extra crispy naan, bake it solo with just garlic butter for 3 minutes before adding toppings, then finish baking.
  • Grate your own Parmesan instead of using pre grated, it melts better and tastes sharper and more complex.
  • A drizzle of balsamic glaze or hot honey over the finished pizza adds a sweet tangy finish that makes it taste gourmet.
