Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside to heat while preparing the pizza.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper sprinkled with cornmeal.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the garlic is aromatic but not browned. Remove from heat.
Brush the entire surface of the pizza dough with the garlic-infused olive oil, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the oiled surface of the pizza, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top with parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of dried oregano. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
Cut into slices and serve warm.
