Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (prepared or homemade) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 cup (finely grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a pizza stone or baking tray into the oven to heat up while you prepare the pizza dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into an even 10-12 inch (25-30 cm) circle or rectangle, depending on your preference. Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the melted garlic butter from heat and stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, and salt.
Brush a generous layer of the garlic butter mixture over the dough, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the prepared dough onto the preheated pizza stone or baking tray in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice the pizza into wedges or strips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Garlic Pizza Wedges!
