Ingredients

Toppings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 cups (224 g) shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste

Dough

  • Prepared pizza dough (amount enough for a 13-inch pizza pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius). Lightly flour a 13-inch pizza pan to prevent sticking and help with easy handling.
  2. Prepare Dough: Gently stretch the prepared pizza dough by hand directly onto the floured pizza pan, forming a circular base with an even thickness. Leave a 1-inch border around the edge for the crust.
  3. Add Olive Oil and Garlic: Brush the olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough, avoiding the 1-inch crust border. Spread minced garlic over the olive oil, allowing some areas to have more intense garlic flavor. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly on top to enhance the aroma and taste.
  4. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Evenly distribute the shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese over the oiled dough surface, leaving the crust border clear. Scatter the Italian seasoning on top of the cheese, then add salt to taste.
  5. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 13 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust edges are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting period allows the cheese to set slightly for easier slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • Increase minced garlic or garlic powder to achieve a stronger garlic flavor.
  • Store-bought pizza dough can be used as a convenient alternative to homemade dough.
  • Italian seasoning may be replaced or enhanced with fresh basil or oregano for varied herbal notes.
  • Allowing the pizza to rest before slicing helps prevent the cheese from sliding off.
