Skip the take-out pizza, these individual pies are ready in just 11 minutes and full of the flavors of Italy. Mini naan make this dish super speedy. Ready to bake, the naan are tender on the inside but still able to crisp on the outside for traditional pizza flare. Mashed white beans with a hint of vinegar make a bright and filling base sauce upon which the peppery arugula, rich caponata and gooey cheese are baked. The finish of hot peppers add a punch of heat to round out the dish. Super grown-up, these pizzas are great for casual supper gatherings or a quick lunch. Leave off the hot peppers for sensitive eaters and pop on a few cherry or grape tomato halves for some sweetness. If mini naan are not available, you can use four pitas for this recipe.
