Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 3 cups unbleached white flour, plus more for kneading
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves, minced
- 1 pkt (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 cup warm water (114°F)
- 2 heads garlic
- 1 cup pizza sauce, or to taste (We used LifeSource Deli pizza sauce)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 bunch fresh basil
Instructions:
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, rosemary, yeast, and kosher salt. Stir in olive oil and warm water. A shaggy dough will form.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead for 3-4 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour to your hands and surface if it begins to stick.
- Oil your mixing bowl. Place dough back into the bowl, and brush with a little more oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size in a warm, draft free area.
- Roast the Garlic: While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel the papery outer layer off of the garlic heads, and slice off ¼-½ inch off the top, so all of the cloves are exposed. Brush exposed cloves with a little more olive oil. Wrap in foil, and bake in a shallow baking dish for 30-40 minutes.
- Once garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze cloves from their skins, or remove with a small fork. Chop and set aside.
- Make the Pizza: Preheat the oven to 475°F. Lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Punch down the dough to remove the air bubbles. Divide in half.
- Using lightly floured hands, form one half into a 12-in circle. Carefully move it to your prepared sheet pan. If there are any thin spots or holes, pinch them together with your fingers. Flatten any extra thick spots as well.
- Brush your crust with more olive oil. Sprinkle on half the roasted garlic. Spoon on half of the pizza sauce, spreading it evenly. Leave a 1-inch border for the crust. Sprinkle on half of the cheese.
- Bake pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. Sprinkle with torn fresh basil leaves. Serve hot.
- Repeat steps 8-10 for the second pizza.
