Notes
To store leftovers: Let the homemade pizza on naan bread cool before transferring to a container with a lid or plastic storage bag. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To freeze: It is best to freeze uncooked pizza. Follow the recipe steps to assemble, then freeze on baking sheet pan until frozen - about 1 hour. Wrap in cling wrap or place in ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat: Place slices on a baking sheet, and bake at 375F for 5-10 minutes for pizza from the fridge. Bake for 10-15 minutes from frozen.
