Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (118 ml) ricotta cheese
- ⅓ cup (79 ml) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 naan flatbreads
- 2.5 cups (591 ml) white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small jalapeno, seeds and germs removed, minced
- 3 to 5 tbsps (45 to 75 ml) butter
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) honey
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Spray of water for the naan bread
Instructions
- Preheating Preparation: Ignite the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for an impeccably crisp naan foundation.
- Naan Priming: Lightly mist the naan surface with water, then delicately pat dry to guarantee a perfectly textured base.
- Caramelization Process: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, introducing sliced onions seasoned with salt and pepper. Drizzle honey to coax a rich, golden-brown transformation. Cook until onions become translucent and deeply caramelized, then relocate to a separate vessel.
- Mushroom Sautéing: Utilize the same skillet to brown mushrooms, drawing out their intense earthy essence until achieving a deep golden hue and releasing natural moisture.
- Cheese Layering: Spread a velvety ricotta landscape across the naan, creating a luxurious creamy canvas for subsequent toppings.
- Topping Composition: Strategically distribute caramelized onions, golden mushrooms, and finely chopped jalapenos, establishing a harmonious flavor profile with vibrant textures.
- Cheese Finalization: Lavishly blanket the surface with mozzarella, ensuring complete coverage for a molten, indulgent finish.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the assembled naan pizzas into the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until the edges crisp and cheese bubbles with molten perfection.
- Serving Finale: Extract from the oven, allow a brief cooling moment, then slice and serve immediately to capture the symphony of crispy, creamy, and spicy sensations.
Notes
- Prep Surface Carefully: Lightly mist naan with water and pat dry to achieve an ultra-crispy pizza base that prevents sogginess.
- Master Caramelization Technique: Slowly cook onions with butter, salt, and honey until they transform into rich, golden-brown strands, developing deep, complex sweetness.
- Control Mushroom Moisture: Sauté mushrooms on high heat to release natural liquids and create intense golden-brown edges that concentrate their earthy flavor.
- Cheese Melting Strategy: Sprinkle mozzarella generously and uniformly to ensure complete coverage, resulting in irresistibly gooey and stretchy cheese topping.
