Equipment Needed

Instructions

4. Spread a thin layer of remaining Tikka Masala sauce over each naan, leaving a small border for the crust.
5. Top each flatbread with the chicken mixture, distributing evenly.
6. Sprinkle with red onion, bell peppers, and mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. Optional: Drizzle with a small amount of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
10. Cut into quarters and serve immediately.

Tips for Success

• For extra crispy flatbreads, pre-bake the naan for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings.
• Use a pizza stone if you have one for an even crispier base.
• Don't overload with toppings, as this can make the flatbread soggy.
• For a spicier version, add a few slices of fresh jalapeño before baking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a simple side salad dressed with lemon and olive oil to balance the rich flavors of the flatbread. For a complete Indian-inspired meal, add a side of cucumber raita.

Storage and Reheating

These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy again.

Variations

• Vegetarian option: Replace chicken with paneer or roasted chickpeas.
• Breakfast flatbread: Add a fried egg on top after baking.
• Seafood variation: Use cooked shrimp instead of chicken.

This flatbread pizza is the perfect way to introduce Indian flavors to pizza lovers. The naan bread provides an authentic base that's reminiscent of traditional Indian meals while creating the perfect canvas for our Tikka Masala sauce to shine.

FAQs

Can I make this with homemade flatbread? Absolutely! Any flatbread recipe works well, though store-bought naan provides authentic flavor and convenience.

How can I make this dairy-free? Use your favorite plant-based cheese alternative and skip the yogurt drizzle, or use a coconut-based yogurt alternative.
