Roasted Garlic Pizza Bread

Our favorite pizza, is roasted garlic.


It's incredibly simple, very tasty, and deliciously inexpensive.

INGREDIENTS: ( 1 Pizza)

1 Pizza Base

Topping:
1 Head of Garlic
Olive Oil, splash of
Sea Salt
Freshly Ground Pepper
1/4 Cup Mozzarella Cheese, grated
1/4 Parmesan Cheese, grated
1 Tsp Oregano, finely chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried oregano)

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 200 Celsius degrees.

Keep the garlic head whole, peel away the papery exterior.

Cut the top off the whole head. Place the garlic head on a large square of aluminum foil.

Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Take up the ends of the foil around the garlic head, and roast on a baking tray for 20 minutes. Do not turn the oven off.

Allow the garlic to cool slightly.

Once the garlic has cooled enough to handle, unwrap the foil, and place on a plastic cutting board.

Using the non cutting side of a knife, start to press and squeeze the softened garlic from the head. It should come out very easily.

Once all the garlic is removed from the head, mix the softened garlic into a paste.

Place your pizza base on a pizza stone or baking tray.

Gather up the garlic paste and using a spatula or knife, spread the paste over the pizza base.

Combine the mozzarella and parmesan cheese together in a small mixing bowl.

Then sprinkle the combined cheeses over the pizza base. Top with the oregano.

Place the pizza back into the oven and bake for approx 7 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

Allow the pizza to cool slightly, slice and serve.
