What You Will Need
- pizza dough – option to pick-up your favorite store-bought pizza dough, dough mix from the local grocery store or make your own homemade pizza dough.
- roasted garlic – highly recommend making some very simple roasted garlic – it has the best flavor!
- fresh tomatoes – any large tomatoes will work great here, just cut into slices.
- shallot – love the mild onion flavor that this provides to the pizza recipe.
- mozzarella cheese – there is simply nothing better than fresh mozzarella cheese, but if you need a dairy-free option, that works too!
- arugula – highly recommend adding the fresh, crisp green before serving.
- olive oil – just drizzle a little bit on the pizza after baking.
- kosher salt – a simple seasoning that is always a must!
How To Make Roasted Garlic Pizza
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to make your pizza dough of choice according to the directions on the package.
Once the garlic is fully roasted, simply use a fork to pull the little cloves out of the middle.
When your dough is ready for all the best pizza toppings, it is time to create your masterpiece. Simply add as much or as little of the garlic, tomatoes, shallots, and cheese as you want.
Now you can put it back in the oven to bake for a few minutes of cook time and then put everything under the broiler on high for another 3 minutes, to let everything brown a little bit. Remove from broiler and top with arugula, olive oil and a sprinkling kosher salt. Serve immediately.
