Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Drizzle the garlic with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap it in aluminum foil.

  4. Place the wrapped garlic in the preheated oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the cloves are golden and soft. Once roasted, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

  6. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.

  7. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and spread them evenly over the pizza dough.

  8. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the garlic.

  9. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the garlic, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

  10. Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the cheese.

  11. Season with a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, to taste.

  12. Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

  13. Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.

  14. Serve hot and enjoy.
