Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 430°F (220°C). Mix olive oil with crushed garlic.

Tip: Garlic oil creates the flavor foundation.
2

Roll out dough, brush first with garlic oil, then thinly with cream.

Tip: The oil layer prevents the cream from soaking in immediately and making it soggy.
3

Sprinkle with finely grated Parmesan and mozzarella.

Tip: Fine grating ensures the Parmesan melts evenly into the cream.
4

Scatter rosemary leaves on top. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden.

Tip: Rosemary oil infuses the hot cheese. Coat leaves in a little oil to prevent burning.
5

Remove and serve immediately. A little fresh pepper on top is great.

Tip: Pepper cuts the richness of the cream.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use Grana Padano?
Yes, it's slightly softer and less salty, but a perfect alternative.
Isn't it too greasy?
Due to cream and cheese, it's calorie-dense. Serve with a side of acidic salad (like arugula with lemon) to aid digestion.
