As amazing as this flatbread is, you would never know how unbelievably easy it is to make. And hiding veggies in the sauce is a great trick, especially if you have kids. For a crumchy crust, bake the naan in the oven until slightly crispy on top before adding the tomato puree. —Kimberly Berg, North Street, Michigan

So easy, so delicious, and super kid friendly. My grocery store was out of naan so I substituted whole wheat pita bread and it worked perfectly.

Absolutely delicious and oh so easy. I didn't have any fresh basil, so I just added some Italian Seasoning to the sauce mixture. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. A very hearty meal, too!
