Garlic Lover's White Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
Garlic is the soul of Italian cooking, but here it's the star, not just a seasoning. This is the triumph of simplicity: no tomato sauce to distract. The garlic mellows as it roasts in oil, losing its bite and becoming sweet and nutty. Perfect for warding off vampires, but date night? Only for the brave!

Instructions

1 ✓

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

Tip: Let it sit briefly to infuse the oil. This is your 'sauce'.
2 ✓

Roll out dough, place on sheet. Brush thoroughly with the garlic oil.

Tip: Ensure it covers everywhere; this protects the dough from drying out.
3 ✓

Sprinkle the grated cheeses evenly over the oil.

Tip: The cheese seals the garlic in, preventing it from burning bitter.
4 ✓

Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is golden and crust is crisp.

Tip: You'll know it's done when the smell changes from burning garlic to sweet roasted garlic.
5 ✓

Remove and sprinkle generously with chopped fresh parsley.

Tip: Parsley's freshness helps neutralize the intensity of the garlic.

Recipe FAQ

Won't the garlic burn?
It will if you sprinkle it on top. The secret is mixing it with oil and putting it under or between cheese layers.
Can I use garlic powder?
Please don't. Fresh garlic's oils provide the soul of this dish.
