Directions
-
In a small mixing bowl, combine the basil, oregano, minced garlic, olive oil, and black pepper. Mix well and let the mixture stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
-
Preheat your oven to 500ðF (260ðC). If using a baking stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
-
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a circular shape, ensuring the edges are slightly thicker than the center. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated baking stone.
-
Spread the garlic-herb oil mixture evenly over the surface of the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
-
Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the oil. Top with the slices of fontina cheese.
-
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and a pinch of additional oregano over the top.
-
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the crust edges are crisp and browned.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
