Steps
Tap an underlined word for a quick explanation.
Brush the naan lightly with the oil on both sides.
Air fry the naan at 375°F for 2 minutes to the bottom.
Crispy. Crispy means the outside is dry, firm and crunchy. It comes from high heat, a little oil and room in the pan, because crowded food steams and goes soft.
How you’ll know: It sounds crunchy when you tap or bite it, and it doesn’t flop when you lift it.
Timer: 2 min
Dolly’s tip: Cook one at a time if both don’t fit flat. Overlapping naan comes out soggy.Spread each with pizza sauce, leaving a thin border, and top with the mozzarella and tomatoes.
Halve. Halving means cutting something into two equal pieces. Even halves cook at the same speed, so one doesn’t dry out while the other finishes.
How you’ll know: The two pieces look like mirror images of each other.
Air fry at 375°F for 4 to 6 minutes, until the cheese is and bubbling.
Melt. Melting means gently heating something solid, like butter or cheese, until it turns liquid. Low or medium heat keeps it from browning or burning.
How you’ll know: It’s smooth and liquid, and butter may foam a little but hasn’t turned brown.
Timer: 5 min
Top with the parmesan, basil and pepper flakes and cut into wedges.
