Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup sliced green olives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cornmeal for dusting

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Place the cloves of garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until soft and golden. Allow it to cool.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If using a store-bought dough, follow the package instructions.
  4. Sprinkle some cornmeal on a baking sheet or pizza stone to prevent the dough from sticking. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the baking sheet.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the roasted garlic, then mash them together with a fork to create a garlic-infused oil.
  6. Spread the garlic-infused oil evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and crumbled feta cheese over the garlic oil.
  8. Arrange the sliced green olives on top of the cheese.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  11. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
  12. Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  13. Enjoy your delicious white pizza with roasted garlic and green olives!
