Don’t want sauce on your pizza? Here’s a delicious substitution that’s fantastic.
PIZZA WITH GARLIC AND OIL
- 1/2 recipe for basic pizza dough
- 4 TBS olive oil
- 2 TBS minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare and roll out the pizza dough as directed, but make it much thinner than a regular pizza. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Brush with olive oil over the surface of the dough and sprinkle with garlic and oregano. - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the garlic is browned and the dough is crispy. The crust should almost be done to almost the point of burning.
Now, you will need my Easy Pizza Crust Recipe, mozzarella cheese and whatever you want for toppings. Make sure to buy a block of cheese and grate it yourself; so much better than the kind that is already shredded.
To be honest, at times the only topping I want is cheese (and extra sauce of course). Chop up some fresh basil and add that as a topping; even a sliced tomato is something I love to add too.
