Equipment

  • 1 pizza stone preheated
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 oven preheated to 475°F

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Roasted Garlic Sauce

  • 1 head of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Toppings

  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 large tomatoes sliced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead until smooth, then let rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30 minutes until soft.
  • Once garlic is roasted, squeeze cloves out and mash with a fork. Mix with olive oil and cream to form a sauce.
  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Roll out the dough, spread the garlic sauce, top with tomatoes and cheese.
  • Place pizza on a preheated stone and bake for 15-20 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  • Remove pizza from oven and top with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Serving

  • Slice and serve the pizza hot, alongside your favorite side dishes or drinks.

Storage

  • Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
