Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F/43°C) and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Once the yeast is activated, add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball.

  4. 4

    Let it Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Base

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to desired thickness. Transfer the rolled dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Add the black garlic cloves by breaking them apart and scattering them over the cheese. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.

  4. 8

    Season and Drizzle

    Season the pizza with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the top.

  5. 9

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
