Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 6 Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp Flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

On a clean surface, dust lightly with flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or to your desired thickness.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 4

Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely, or use a garlic press for convenience.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a garlic oil base.

Step 6

Brush the garlic oil evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, starting from the center and leaving about 1 inch around the edges for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the garlic oil layer, followed by the grated parmesan cheese.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the cheese for an extra kick of spice.

Step 9

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley evenly over the pizza for a burst of freshness.

Step 13

Slice the pizza into desired portions and serve warm. Enjoy Sara's Garlic Pizza!
