AIBU to think this weekly pizza is absolutely acceptable?

It's our weekly pizza night. We have it every Saturday except when we are away. Nice tradition and bit of fun. Piza with any toppings we like (like ham and pineapple, pepperoni and anchovies), wine, beer, caprese... Just nice.

Here is where we have a problem tho. DH loves his pizza and does like the proper thing with 60% hydration dough, 24 hours rising, all that shebang. I feel neutral about pizza dough as I think it's just too much buzz about not much but I found out that a garlic and coriander naan from local Indian place is absolutely amazing pizza base! DH is not amused at all, lets me get on with it but does usually mention what heresy that is. But it's so yum!

So AIBU to use fresh garlic and coriander naan as my weekly pizza base?

YABU. That's not pizza.

As a Pakistani and a lover of pizza, trying to turn a naan into a pizza is an abomination.

ChagSameachDoreen · 03/09/2022 17:18

Have you taken leave of your senses?

carefullycourageous · 03/09/2022 17:20

Wrong, sorry.

BeanieTeen · 03/09/2022 17:20

Aaahh. No, what is happening? Nan is not pizza. Sounds so wrong.
YABU - but if your DH doesn’t like it he should be in charge of pizza making.

AnuSTart · 03/09/2022 17:20

Sounds bloody awesome.

OneSmallBox · 03/09/2022 17:20

Pineapple?
terrible, Shocking, Heinous behaviour.

ofwarren · 03/09/2022 17:21

I actually like the sound of that and am going to try it.
I am autistic though and sensory seek where taste is concerned. That sounds like a taste explosion!

Sounds brilliant OP sign me up!

Ella28_ · 03/09/2022 17:23

I hear you. I used the garlic and coriander naan from co op as a pizza base once as it's all I had and cba going out to the shop. Game changer. So good! The people that say otherwise need to try it.

He does the dough, I am just not fussed about normal pizza dough no matter what hydration

I want to try this now yummmmm

LubaLuca · 03/09/2022 17:24

Sounds like a more convoluted way to get a pizza than making the dough the day before. Also coriander in pizza? Nope, I wouldn't allow it.

MissConductUS · 03/09/2022 17:25

We make pizza twice a week chez Conduct, but we buy the dough premade at an Italian supermarket. Our typical toppings are pepperoni, bacon, and Italian sweet sausage. Yum.

DinosaurDuvet · 03/09/2022 17:25

Not a fan of pizza but I think this could be nice 👌

would rather have curry

IsThisPizzaOrASin · 03/09/2022 17:28

We are big fans of different breads and make quite a few but it's just the pizza dough which is just boring

Just this week we had a dark rye bread, german style, sunflower seed bread and next week we are planning focaccia, rye again and kaiser buns. I like all of them just can't get excited about pizza dough

Local curry and pizza takeaway also does curry pizza.

E.g. chicken korma pizza. pizza base with korma sauce topped with chicken pieces and mozzarella.

I'm yet to brave it.

WildImaginings · 03/09/2022 17:40

I've used naan as a pizza base more than once! Delicious!

Beelezebub · 03/09/2022 17:47

What time should I come round? Sounds amazing.

RebulahConundrum · 03/09/2022 17:47

If you like it who cares if it's 'wrong' or not?

blisstwins · 03/09/2022 17:48

I am sure it is good, but it is not pizza.

PurpleDaisies · 03/09/2022 17:50

It is not pizza.

AnyodyAnywhere · 03/09/2022 17:51

If you like it then you go right ahead.

My usual pizza order makes traditionalists recoil in horror…pepperoni, pineapple, jalapeños and red onion. DH always says I embarrass him but he’s not eating it, I am 😊

Igmum · 03/09/2022 17:52

Hmmm. I would never have thought of this but am happy to try it. What time should I turn up? Will bringWineWineWineGrin

JustAWeirdoWithNoName · 03/09/2022 17:54

YANBU! We had a "naanizza" from HelloFresh a few weeks ago and it was insane! Plus I felt a lot less bloated than after the usual pizza carb fest 👌
