- 2 tsp garlic crushed, from 2 to 3 large cloves
- ⅛ tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup mozzarella shredded, tightly packed
- ½ cup Parmesan shredded, tightly packed
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat. Heat the oven to 480 degrees F.
- Infuse. Mix the oil and garlic and let them stand about 10 minutes.
- Shape. Stretch the dough into a round on a pizza pan.
- Top. Spread the garlic oil over the dough, leaving the rim bare, add the salt, and cover with Parmesan and mozzarella.
- Bake. Bake 8 minutes, rotating the pan after 4, until golden spots appear on the cheese.
Notes
Substitutions: Use classic yeasted, quick no yeast, or store bought dough.
Tips: Let the garlic infuse in the oil and keep it off the bare rim so it does not scorch.
Storage: Refrigerate slices for up to 3 days and reheat to 165 degrees F.
