This Aldi Bread Doubles As A 'Perfect' Crust For Quick Pizzas

Making homemade pizza can be one of the most fun and most frustrating experiences as a home cook — and a lot of that frustration comes from shaping the dough. Sure, you can go on YouTube to search up how much you should roll out your dough or the exact way to toss it, but sometimes you don't have time for that when you're coming home from a long day at work and just want something to eat. To solve that problem, we recommend picking up Aldi's Specially Selected Garlic Naan as a crust for quick pizzas.

This flatbread, priced at $5.49 and sold in a four-pack, is inspired by traditional naan, a leavened flatbread popular in Indian cuisine. This garlic naan's sturdy nature makes it the perfect pizza base. With a fluffy interior and crispy edges, this Aldi bread packs a flavorful punch. And thanks to that solid base, you can load it up with plenty of sauce and toppings and it won't get soggy.

There are plenty of ways to zhuzh up your garlic naan pizza. If you're already at Aldi for the flatbread, you might as well stop by for some sauces too. Marinara sauce is a good option, as are cheesy Alfredo sauce or pesto sauce.

The toppings are where home cooks can get really creative. Cheese is an absolute must, and we recommend using shredded or grated cheeses so it gets nice and melty on the naan. Mozzarella cheese is usually a popular choice, but you can go ham with cheddar, pepper Jack, or other cheese blends. These cheeses all serve as a great base for toppings like pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, or pineapple, the latter of which is a popular choice among pizza lovers. And since it's a thin crust, there are many ways to cook the flatbread pizza. You can grill it or even air fry it, though a favorite method for many is baking it in the toaster oven. And before it cools, make sure to sprinkle some extra ricotta, burrata, or basil on top if you have any.
