Super-Speedy Dinner for One Features Naan Bread

By Lori Powell

My super-speedy dinner for one this week requires the aid of a delicious flatbread such as naan bread, sold in the bread aisle of the supermarket. There's also a whole wheat and roasted garlic version. However any flatbread will work for this recipe.

I try to keep a couple of packages in my freezer and before I leave for work in the morning, I simply place one in the fridge so that it is defrosted and good to go when I get home.

This is a great way to use up whatever leftovers or condiments are in your fridge. Then simply add stuff from the pantry to create a flatbread pizza for one. It's also good as a quick lunch or as appetizers for company and unexpected guests.

I love to cook these on the grill but a grill pan works as well.
