Garlic Pizza Recipe
Who doesn’t love a good pizza? No matter what your preference is on the topping, there’s always a pizza type to suit everyone’s tastes. This quick and easy garlic pizza recipe is a delightful treat that can be prepared in just about 15 minutes, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering.
The base starts with a simple homemade dough made from all-purpose flour, sea salt, dry yeast, and warm water. After a brief resting period, the dough is rolled out and ready for your toppings.
The star of this pizza is the garlic butter topping. You can use either roasted garlic for a sweet, mellow flavor or fresh minced garlic for a more robust taste. The garlic is mixed with softened unsalted butter, creating a rich spread that enhances the pizza’s flavor profile.
Optional fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme can be added to elevate the taste further along with a traditional tomato base.
Once the dough is topped with the garlic butter mixture, generous amounts of low-moisture mozzarella and freshly grated Parmesan cheese are sprinkled on top. This combination results in a gooey, cheesy layer that perfectly complements the aromatic garlic.
Baking the pizza at a high temperature ensures a crispy crust and bubbly cheese, creating an irresistible texture. The final product is golden-brown and fragrant, ready to be sliced and served!

Tips
- The longer you let your dough ferment, the easier it will be to roll out
- Don’t over roast the garlic in the initial preparation phase because it will taste terrible.
- Once your pizza base has a nice leopard skin appearance to it, the bottom is cooked. Provided the top is golden brown, you’re good to go.
