Directions

Make the topping

STEP 1

Thinly slice the garlic. Toast (without oil) the garlic and the pine nuts in a pan or in the oven.

STEP 2

While still warm, add them to the olive oil together with the Piment d’Espelette or the chili powder. Allow to cool.

STEP 3

Remove the leaves from the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Finely chop all of the herbs. Mix them into the oil and allow to infuse for 12 hours.

Make the naan bread

STEP 4

Combine the Mix, water and oil. Knead 5 minutes with a kitchen robot or by hand into a supple dough.

STEP 5

Cover with a tea towel. Let rise at room temperature for 60 minutes. Divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape them into balls. Cover and let rise at room temperature for 10 minutes.

STEP 6

Roll the balls of dough out into an oval shape (12 cm x 18 cm). Place an anti-stick pan over medium heat. Fry until both sides of the naan are golden brown.

Remove from the oven, allow to cool until lukewarm and garnish with fresh rocket. Pour ½ tablespoon of olive oil over each pizza.
