Description

This White Pizza is a comforting, cheese-laden favorite that skips the tomato sauce for a rich, garlic-olive oil base. The crust is brushed with a fragrant mixture of minced garlic, fresh herbs, and olive oil, creating a savory foundation for the cheeses. Layers of stretchy mozzarella and creamy fontina melt together into a golden, bubbly topping, finished with a sprinkle of sharp parmesan.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If using a baking stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
  3. 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.
  4. Spread the garlic-herb oil mixture evenly over the surface of the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
  5. Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the oil. Top with the slices of fontina cheese.
  6. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and a pinch of additional oregano over the top.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the crust edges are crisp and browned.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
