Ingredients
  • 1 Recipe Pizza Dough
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh chopped Basil or
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dried Basil
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
  • 6 lg Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 2 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 oz Thin slices fontina cheese
  • 1/4 c Grated parmesan cheese
Directions
  1. 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. 2
    Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If using a baking stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
  3. 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. 4
    Spread the garlic-herb oil mixture evenly over the surface of the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
  5. 5
    Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the oil. Top with the slices of fontina cheese.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and a pinch of additional oregano over the top.
  7. 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. 8
    Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
