Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Tip: A hot oven is the secret to a crispy bottom.
2

Crush the garlic and mix it with the olive oil.

Tip: Let it sit for a bit so the oil absorbs the flavor (aroma extraction).
3

Roll out the dough and brush it thoroughly with the garlic oil.

Tip: This replaces tomato sauce, adding flavor and protecting the dough from drying out.
4

Scatter the torn mozzarella on top and dot with ricotta.

Tip: Drain the mozzarella beforehand so it doesn't make the dough soggy.
5

Sprinkle with chopped rosemary and grated Parmesan.

Tip: The essential oils in the rosemary will permeate the entire pizza due to the heat.
6

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: Watch the edges; white pizza can brown faster.
7

After baking, sprinkle with fresh basil.

Tip: Always add fresh herbs at the end to preserve their color and fresh taste.

Recipe FAQ

Why does the dough puff up so much?
Since there is no heavy sauce on it, the dough rises more easily. If it bothers you, prick it with a fork before baking.
What kind of rosemary should I use?
Fresh! Dried rosemary remains hard and burns easily in the oven.
