Week 3 Margherita Naan Pizza

For this week's meal, I decided to make a recipe I found on the website yummly titled "15 Minute Easy Margherita Flatbread Pizza." I chose this recipe because it required few ingredients and it was quick and easy to make. 

The ingredients required for this recipe are:

• Naan bread

• 3 pieces fresh mozzarella (sliced 1/2 inch thick)

• 1 tomato (thinly sliced)

• 6 leaves fresh basil

• 3 cloves garlic (pressed)

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

• salt

• pepper 

The first step in making this pizza was to mix the olive oil and garlic together in a bowl and brush it onto the naan. Then, I put the naan into a 350 degree preheated oven for 5 minutes.

While the naan was in the oven, I incorporated the weekly technique by slicing both the tomatoes and mozzarella. Once the 5 minutes was up, I took the naan out of the oven and placed 3 pieces of mozzarella on top, followed by a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Then, I added 3 slices of tomato along with another sprinkle of salt and pepper. Next, I put the pizza back into the oven for another 5 minutes and finished it off by broiling it for 2 more minutes. Finally, after removing the pizza from the oven, I topped it with the chopped basil and balsamic vinegar. 

Overall, this recipe was a huge success! You can't really go wrong with a Margherita pizza and adding the naan made it very unique and tasty. It also only took me around 15 minutes to make and clean-up was very quick. While this meal was delicious, it didn't have the highest nutritional value so I paired it with a side salad as well as a protein shake. I left this meal feeling very full and satisfied.
