Garlic pizza is a simple yet delicious dish that brings together the robust flavors of garlic and the comforting taste of homemade pizza dough. This recipe will guide you through the process of creating a savory garlic pizza, perfect for a quick dinner or as an appetizer for your next gathering.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Warm the ½ cup of water (120g) until it is lukewarm (about 110°F or 43°C).
- Add 1 teaspoon of sugar (5g) and 1 teaspoon of yeast (5g) to the water.
- Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy. This means the yeast is active.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups of all-purpose white wheat flour (190g) and a dash of salt (1g).
- Make a well in the center and pour in the frothy yeast mixture.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (13.5g).
- Mix until the dough starts to come together.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time. If it is too dry, you can add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time.
- Lightly coat a clean bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil (13.5g).
- Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat with oil.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 to 1½ hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, peel and finely mince 2 garlic cloves (6g).
- Preheat a small skillet over medium heat, and add a short spray of cooking spray oil (0.30g).
- Sauté the minced garlic for about 1-2 minutes until it is fragrant but not browned. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you are using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- Punch down the risen dough to release the air.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter.
- Place the rolled-out dough on a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper if you do not have a pizza stone.
- Evenly spread the sautéed garlic across the surface of the dough.
- Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven (or pizza stone if using one).
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the garlic is lightly browned and aromatic.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute or two.
- Slice and serve your delicious garlic pizza immediately.
Tips:
- Ensure the water is warm (110°F/45°C) when mixing with yeast to activate it properly.
- Knead the dough thoroughly to achieve the right texture and elasticity.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for at least an hour to double in size.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, and consider sautéing it briefly before adding it to the pizza.
- Preheat your oven to the highest possible temperature for a crispy crust.
With just a few ingredients and these easy steps, you can create a delicious garlic pizza that will impress your family and friends. Whether you’re making this as a meal or a snack, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your cooking repertoire. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors and the satisfaction of making pizza from scratch!
