Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Garlic Cream Sauce
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
Toppings
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) to prepare for baking the pizza.
- Roll Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough until it is approximately 12 inches wide, forming the base for the pizza.
- Prepare Garlic Oil: In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
- Make Garlic Cream Sauce: Gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring, then allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly into a creamy sauce.
- Spread Sauce: Evenly spread the prepared garlic cream sauce over the rolled-out pizza dough, covering the surface uniformly.
- Add Cheese Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella followed by grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the creamy sauce layer.
- Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste, then slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use store-bought pizza dough for convenience or homemade for a personalized touch.
- Do not overcook the garlic while sautéing to avoid bitterness.
- Adjust the amount of garlic according to personal preference for garlic intensity.
- For a crispier crust, bake the dough 2-3 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings.
- This pizza pairs well with a light salad or a chilled white wine.
