naan pizza

One thing that I miss and have not had much of for about two years, is pizza, my all time favourite was the Canadian Classic from Xtreme pizza in Halifax. The crust was was brushed with garlic butter, there was bacon, sausages, onions and mushrooms - my favourites! The pizza choices in south east Calgary are slim and we haven't found anything just right - from my picky-ness over the cheese (it can't have too much) and my partner's sensitivity to greasy food (lack of gall-bladder) - we have started just making our own.

We call it naan pizza, for obvious reasons. It's ridiculously easy when you don't bother making your own dough, and with full time jobs, we don't have time to bother nor do we want to.

Topping selections are much healthier than those chosen when in university:
Ham (I ask the deli counter to cut it about half a centimetre thick)
Shallot
Spinach
Cherry tomatoes
Artichokes
Bacon (for reminiscing)
Nice mozzarella

Others toppings that we use but didn't have on hand
Avocado
Mushrooms
Peppers
Etc, the sky is the limit

It always turns out really nice and only needs maybe five to ten minutes in the oven to melt the cheese and warm everything up.
