Pizza Recipe – With a Naan Bread Base

Pizza Recipe – With a Naan Bread Base

Pizza Recipe:

Pizza is a lovely dinner that everyone loves. A pizza is so versatile. There are so many different toppings and you don’t have to stick with the traditional pizza base.

I decided it would be nice to show you a pizza with a Naan Base and also a Pizza with a Wrap as your Base.

This quick and simple pizza takes just 5 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook.

The beauty of this pizza recipe is the children can make their own.

And the pizza would be fine to eat hot or cold.

This simple pizza is great for a snack, lunch or a dinner.

I also have a delicious recipe for a pizza using Filo Pastry.

Ingredients

  • Naan Bread or Wrap
  • Red Pesto
  • Cheese of your choice
  • Onion
  • Chicken Breast
  • Olive Oil
  • Paprika
  • Jamaican Jerk Seasoning

Pizza – Method & Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to Gas 6/200°C/400°F

Pour about a tbsp of cooking oil over your chicken breast. Spread cooking oil around the chicken breast with your fingers, making sure to cover both sides.

Sprinkle some paprika over the chicken and using your fingers, rub the paprika into the chicken breast on both sides. The olive oil helps spread the spices and seasoning.

Now sprinkle some Jamaican Jerk on both sides of your chicken breast and again spread it around with your fingers.

Fry your chicken breast in a wok or frying pan. Turning it every 3 – 4 minutes to ensure a nice even cooking.

Once it is fully cooked, you will see the sides of the chicken is white and not pink anymore. You can double check that the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest bit of chicken and making sure it is not pink in colour.

Cut your chicken breast into small pieces.

With your onion, it is best to cut it into thin half moons, but of course you can dice the onion if you prefer.

Now for the TOPPING of your Pizza

Liberally spread some red pesto over the Pitta Bread or Naan Bread, which ever you decide to use.

Scatter some onions over the red pesto.

Place your chicken pieces on top of the onions.

Then cover with cheddar cheese or whatever cheese you like.

Put the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes.

Enjoy this simple and deliciously tasty pizza with naan or pitta bread.

If you want to try using a wrap as your pizza base, then repeat the above process but using a wrap instead of the Naan Bread.

When you take it out the oven, you can eat as it is or fold the wrap over.

Either way, it tastes really good.

Happy Cooking

How to Make- Jacket Potato Stuffed with Cheese & Onion

Jacket potato stuffed or baked potato as some know it as, is a very versatile meal.

You can serve a jacket potato with butter on the side as part of a main meal or your jacket potato can actually be your main meal if you put a topping on it or stuff the potato like as in this recipe. Or you can have a quater or half a stuffed potato for a starter.

There are so many variations for the filling but for this particular recipe I will show you two ways to have cheese & onion with your jacket potato.

One of those ways is stuffing the jacket potato with the cheese & onion and placing it back in the oven.

It really changes up the flavour and texture of the jacket potato. I would highly recommend trying this version.

A jacket potato is a cheap meal to cook if you are on a budget too.

There is such a large variety of potatoes to choose from. I have given some suggestions but if you want to share in the comments your favourite type of potato to use, I would love to hear from you.

Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Soup

Watch on YouTube: Click Here.

Ingredients

  • Large potato – A floury or starchy potato is best like: Rooster, Vivaldi, Sante, King Edwards, Russet, Melody or Desiree. Waxy potatoes are not as good for baking like: Kipfler or Red Royale.
  • Foil to wrap potatoes in

 

  • 1 medium onion per large potato
  • 100g cheddar cheese per large potato
  • Salt & pepper (optional)
  • Butter (optional)

Jacket Potato Stuffed with Cheese & Onion

Method & Instructions for Option 1

Pre-heat oven to Gas 5/190°C

Check your potato to make sure there are no bad bits on the skin

With a sharp knife stab the potato lots of times all around, poking little holes so it doesn’t explode

Wrap the potatoes in foil – if foil is left off the potatoes they will go very crispy – if you want a little crispiness take the foil off half hour before potatoes are ready

Place foil wrapped potatoes on the racks not in a baking tray

Cook in a pre-heated oven Gas 5 or 190°C or 375°F for one and half hours

Dice onion

Melt butter in frying pan then cook your diced onion in the butter until nice and soft and put to one side

Grate cheese and put to one side

Test the potato by piercing a knife into the middle of the potato

Once the potato is cooked cut it in half

Scoop out the potato leaving the skin intact

Put the scooped potato into a bowl

Add the grated cheese and cooked onions into the bowl of scooped potato and mix well

Salt & pepper acn be added at this stage if you wish

Butter can be added but I personally don’t think you need it

Place the potato skins in a baking tray and fill the skins with the potato, cheese & onion mixture

Squash mixture in tight and then fill them right up. It is ok to have a big mound on top of the skins

Place baking tray with filled potatoes back into the oven for 15 minutes

If you want more crispiness on top then leave in the oven for a further 5 or 10 minutes

Serve with maybe a nice salad or have it on its own

Or try having your jacket potato with some delicious homemade coleslaw

Enjoy your jacket potato stuffed with cheese & onion

Jacket Potato with Cheese & Onion Topping

Method & Instructions for Option 2

Once your jacket potato is cooked, you cut a cross on the top, squeeze and pinch the four corners to open up the potato. You may wish to use a clean tea-towel so you don’t burn yourself.

Place a bit of butter in the opened potato if you wish to put butter on it.

Put the fried onions on the potato opening (best to cut these half moons rather than diced).

Cover the onions with grated cheese.

You can place in the oven or under the grill for a few minutes to melt the cheese if you wish.

Serve and enjoy you jacket potato topped with cheese & onion and maybe some baked beans if you wish. Baked beans, cheese & onion work well together.

Other Potato Ideas

There are so many things you can do with potato.

It doesn’t have to just be boiled and mash.

Potato is a basic food item we have in our kitchen.

Some of the YouTube videos and blogs I have done are the classic bubble & squeak, flavoursome spicy potato wedges, amazingly yummy potato croquettes filled with creammy potato & cheese & leek & chicken, a wonderful potato & chicken & leek pie, simple to make cheesy potato cakes and I am glad to be sharing a beautiful potato & leek & cauliflower cheesy bake.
