This delectable Naan Bread Margherita Pizza with Prosciutto recipe allows you to enjoy the classic flavors of a Margherita pizza with a twist. Instead of using traditional pizza dough, we use soft and fluffy naan bread as the base. Topped with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, this pizza is bursting with flavor. To take it to the next level, we add thin slices of prosciutto for a salty and savory touch. This recipe is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
