Equipment

Large baking sheet

Ingredients

4 naan (or pocketless pita), store-bought or homemade (~4 to 4.5 ounces each)
3/4 cup prepared pesto
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
1 large (or 2 small) peach, halved, pitted, and sliced
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, torn into wide ribbons
1 (8-oz.) ball fresh mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
Balsamic glaze and fresh basil leaves for garnish
Optional garnish: crushed red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Arrange 4 naan breads on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread pesto evenly over each bread. Arrange sliced shallots, peaches, and prosciutto overtop.
Scatter torn pieces of mozzarella cheese over toppings. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and edges of naan are crisp.
Drizzle naan pizzas with balsamic glaze and scatter torn basil leaves overtop. If desired, garnish with a pinch of chili flakes or Aleppo pepper for a kick of heat. Slice each naan pizza into thirds and serve.

Notes

Make-Ahead: Assemble the pizzas up to 8 hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Store: Refrigerate leftover containers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat:
- Air-fryer: Set the air-fryer to 350ºF and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until warm and crisp.
- Stove-top: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 naan pizza, halved, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, uncovered. On the side of the pan (not on the pizza), add a few drops of water, immediately cover, and cook pizza for a few more minutes, until heated through.
- Oven: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place the naan pizzas on a piece of foil and put it directly on the center oven rack for even heating on the top and bottom. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until warm.
