Naan Margherita Flatbread

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Burst of Flavor: Naan Margherita Flatbread! Naan is an exotic oven-baked bread that makes the perfect personal size pizza. It can be made from scratch, but today’s version was available at my local supermarket bakery. I was looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal that wouldn’t weigh me down. Add fresh ingredients and you have a healthy choice for dinner. Basil was in abundance in my herb garden, so I decided to utilize it. Yum!

  1. Living in Great Britain with it’s plethora of Indian restaurants I am no stranger to naan bread. It is cooked on a tandoor oven and usually served as a must-have accompaniment to curries. There are many varieties the most common being chilli, cheese (and chilli), Keema (filled with spiced fine minced lamb), garlic, Peshwari (filled with coconut and almond, sometimes with raisins and a drizzle of honey) and of course good old plain. Love ’em all!
