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 your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for a perfect pizza crust that becomes crispy and golden.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it measures about 12 inches in diameter, giving you a nice, even base for the toppings.
- Make Garlic Sauce: In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, careful not to brown it to avoid bitterness.
- Simmer Cream: Gradually stir in the heavy cream to the garlic oil mixture and let it simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly, creating a rich garlic cream sauce.
- Assemble Pizza: Spread the warm garlic cream sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough to form a flavorful base layer for the cheese.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the sauce to cover the pizza generously.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley, salt, and pepper on top for added freshness and seasoning, then slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the garlic cream sauce.
- If you prefer a thinner crust, roll out the dough slightly larger but adjust baking time accordingly.
- Freshly chopped parsley adds a bright color and fresh taste—substitute with basil if desired.
- You can prepare the garlic cream sauce ahead and refrigerate it to save time.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative.
