They are great as a quick lunch or after school snack but I’ve even made them for dinner when I just can’t be bothered to spend more than 10 minutes in the kitchen. I always have store-bought naan in the freezer so swapping it out for pizza crust/pizza dough makes total sense....

Recently I had a huge bag of fresh chillies (chili peppers) and decided to use a few ways to preserve them.
