Ingredients
- 6 small naan pitas e.g., Longo's Naan buns
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 18 slices pepperoni
- 6 teaspoons pizza sauce or to taste
- Optional toppings: hot pepper oil hot honey, or dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Use a 3.7-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut 6 hearts out of the naan pitas.
- Use a 3.2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut 6 hearts from the provolone cheese slices.
- Use a small 1.2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut 18 mini hearts from the pepperoni slices.
Assemble the pizzas:
- Spread about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce on each naan heart, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Place a provolone cheese heart on top of the sauce.
- Add 3 mini pepperoni hearts to each pizza.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the naan are golden, about 8–10 minutes.
- For a crispier, golden top, broil the pizzas (top burner only) for the last 30–60 seconds.
- Serve warm with optional toppings like hot pepper oil, hot honey, or dried oregano.
Notes
For a lighter version, try using whole-wheat naan or pita bread.
Experiment with cheese types, such as mozzarella, gouda, or cheddar, to match your preferences.
These mini pizzas freeze well—just reheat in the oven for a quick snack or meal.
