Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball fresh or store-bought pizza dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano (or parsley)
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup ricotta or goat cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: spinach, mushrooms, caramelized onions, fresh basil
  • Optional garnish: garlic-infused olive oil drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or steel in the oven if using.
  2. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface or parchment paper.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and oregano or parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread garlic sauce evenly over the rolled dough.
  6. Top with mozzarella, ricotta or goat cheese, and any optional toppings.
  7. Transfer to preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with basil or a drizzle of garlic oil if desired.

Notes

  • Pre-baking the dough for 3–5 minutes helps prevent sogginess.
  • For a crispier crust, use a pizza steel or preheated stone.
  • Customize with seafood, roasted veggies, or arugula for added variety.
  • Vegan version: use plant-based butter, cheese, and a cashew-based sauce.
  • Avoid microwaving leftovers; reheat in the oven or skillet for best texture.
