1
Pizza Crust -- Remove from the refrigerator and then let them come to more of a room temperature.
-
2
Un-roll or un-wrap the crust and lay out flat.
-
3
I prefer to lay mine on a cutting board lightly dusted with flour so it doesn't stick.
-
4
Then I sprinkle a bit more flour over the crust and lightly roll out the crust, just to seal the seams and make sure it is nice and flat.
-
5
Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a sil pad or they can be baked on a pizza stone too.
-
6
I prefer a baking sheet with parchment for easy clean up.
-
7
Crust -- Using a fork, poke several holes all over the crust.
-
8
This will prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
-
9
Season -- Mix the olive oil, pepper, and red pepper flakes (more or less to taste) and brush over the pizza crust.
-
10
Toppings -- Top the pizza with the garlic, shallots, herbs and cheese.
-
11
It is a light topping, not too heavy.
-
12
Cutting Slices -- I use a pizza cutter, but a sharp knife or pastry wheel will work too.
-
13
I cut 8 slices, just like a pizza - that way, after it is cooked, you can easily break or pull apart the slices easily.
-
14
Bake -- Oven to 450 on the middle shelf, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
15
Ten (10 minutes or less, depending on your oven).
-
16
Serve -- Enjoy with anything, it is just a nice change to a loaf of bread or dinner rolls.
-
17
And again -- feel free to add any of your fresh herbs and different cheeses.
