Ingredients

  • 12 garlic cloves
  • 200ml olive oil
  • 200g butter
  • 30g, chopped parsley
  • 500g pizza dough
  • 30g mozzarella

After all, there are fewer things more delicious in life than a cheesy garlic bread. And this takes the idea up a notch.

Method

  • In a small saucepan, place the (peeled) garlic cloves and the olive oil. Heat over a very gentle flame until the oil is simmering, then cook the garlic for around 20 minutes until the cloves are golden brown and squishy. Remove from the oil - you can use this as a base for a delicious garlicky salad dressing.
  • When they've cooled down, mix with the garlic cloves with the butter and parsley and set aside.
  • Divide the pizza dough in two and shape into rough circles that fit into a skillet. Brush one of the dough circles with lots of the butter and sprinkle with the cheese, then top with the other dough and seal the edges. Use a pizza cutter to cut a grid pattern into the dough and carefully slide it into the skillet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or so, then cover with a tea towel to soften and brush with more garlic butter. Sprinkle with chives if you wish.
  • What do you think of the recipe?
