Instructions
Naan Bread Pizza Crust
  1. Wash your hands and clean your countertops. Rinse produce under cool running water before slicing.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients, parmesan cheese, parsley, and garlic in a medium mixing bowl. Create a well in the center of the ingredients.
  3. Add olive oil and milk to the well of the flour mixture. Combine until it creates a ball of dough and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Separate into 7 balls. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to be 1/8” thick. Making the bread thin will allow it to cook evenly.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat. One at a time, cook the naan bread dough for about 90 seconds on each side. It will toast and get air pockets.
Pizza Sauce
  1. Wash your hands and clean your countertops. Rinse produce under cool running water before slicing. Wipe down the tops of canned vegetables before opening.
  2. Using a medium-size non-stick skillet, saute the diced onion and chopped garlic in olive oil until they become translucent.
  3. Add kosher salt, chicken broth, and blended tomatoes to the skillet. Bring to a simmer for 15 minutes or until the pizza sauce is thickened.
