Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water (approximately 110°F or 45°C) with 1 tsp yeast and 1 tsp sugar. Stir and let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Gradually add in the 2.50 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1 tsp salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Coat the dough with 1 tbsp of olive oil, place it back in the bowl, and cover with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Grease a baking tray with 1 tbsp of olive oil.
3. Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and stretch it to fit the prepared baking tray.
2. Brush the melted butter and garlic mixture over the stretched dough, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
3. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.
1. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
5. Serve:
1. Remove the tray from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
2. Slice the garlic bread pizza into serving pieces and enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure the water is lukewarm (around 110°F or 43°C) to activate the yeast properly.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This could take about 8-10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a stand mixer.
- Allow the dough to proof in a warm environment until it doubles in size, around 1 to 2 hours.
- For a more flavorful crust, brush it with a mixture of olive oil and Italian seasoning before baking.
- If you like extra garlic flavor, you can add another clove or sprinkle granulated garlic on the crust before adding the cheese.
- Use freshly grated mozzarella cheese for the best melt and flavor.
- For a crispy crust, bake on a preheated pizza stone or use a perforated pizza pan.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before cutting to allow the cheese to set slightly and make slicing easier.
