Dorm Dining: Margherita Naan Pizza

Written by Grace Baines

Pizza is a basic food group for most college students and so it was only a matter of time before we discussed how to make a pizza in your microwave. However, instead of going for something like a pepperoni or cheese pizza we’re going to step it up a notch. We’re going to an old favorite from Italy: the Margherita Pizza. This is a traditional pizza dish and the precursor to American pizza. When combined with the Indian flat bread Naan, it’s a culture mix with great result. The Naan provides a doughy and firm texture and the tomato sauce, Mozzarella, basil and oregano create a firmly Italian taste in a dorm-size personal pizza.

  • •Microwavable plate
  • •Microwavable bowl
  • •Fork
  • •Knife
  • •Fresh basil
  • •Dried basil
  • •Fresh Mozzarella cheese
  • •1 Naan flat bread
  • •2 tablespoons of Olive oil
  • •Salt and pepper

1-2Preparation

  1. Take one of the tomatoes and prepare it for the sauce by slicing a small cross into the bottom. Then cut around the stem and remove it from the tomato.
  2. Fill the bowl with water and place the prepared tomato into it. Bring the water to a boil in the microwave, cooking it in one-minute increments until the skin of the tomato appears to be peeling off.
  3. Drain the bowl and peel the skin off the tomato. Place the peeled tomato back into the bowl.
    Warning: You may want to run the tomato under cool water.
  4. Crush the tomato into a paste and add the basil and oregano to your personal taste. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
  5. Cut the Mozzarella and the washed tomato into slices about a centimeter thick. Wash the fresh basil and slice them into thin strips.
  6. Place the Naan on the plate and add 2 tablespoons of Olive oil into the tomato sauce.
  7. Spread the fresh sauce on the Naan and evenly distribute the Mozzarella and tomato slices. Sprinkle the basil across the pizza.
  8. Put the plate in the microwave and cook the pizza for a full minute or until the Mozzarella has melted.
  9. Remove the plate from the microwave and let the pizza cool for a few seconds.
