Step 1

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 400ºF. Use pastry brush to brush oil into 9-inch circle in center of rimmed baking sheet. Place naan on top of oil on baking sheet.

Step 2

Use back of small spoon to spread pesto over naan, leaving 1/2 inch border around edge. Sprinkle cheese over pesto, then sprinkle tomatoes over cheese.

Step 3

Place baking sheet in oven and bake until naan is golden brown around edges, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Use oven mitts to remove baking sheet from oven (ask an adult for help.) Place baking sheet on cooling rack and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Use spatula to carefully transfer naan to cutting board (baking sheet will be hot.) Use chef's knife or pizza wheel to cut naan into wedges. Serve.

Step 6

Naan is an Indian flatbread with a chewy texture and a puffed, slightly charred crust. Brushing the baking sheet wit olive oil and then baking the naan on the lowest rack in a 400ºF oven gives it a crispy texture--just like a pizza crust. This recipe can be doubled.
