1 head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups wild nettle leaves or baby spinach
Semolina flour
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded provolone cheese

1
Peel outer skins from garlic bulb, leaving cloves attached. Cut off top quarter of bulb. Place bulb, cut-side up, on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, and seal foil tightly over garlic.
2
Bake at 425u00b0 for 45 minutes or until soft. Remove from oven; cool. Scoop out garlic pulp, mash, and stir until smooth.
3
Preheat oven to 450u00b0 with a pizza stone on the bottom rack.
4
Blanch nettle leaves in salted boiling water 1 minute, drain, and plunge into ice water. Remove nettle leaves from water, wringing out excess, and set aside. (If using spinach, place in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat at high 3 minutes. Set aside.)
5
Sprinkle surface with semolina flour, and roll Pizza Dough into a 12-inch circle.
6
Spread dough with mashed garlic (garlic won't cover entire surface); sprinkle with crushed red pepper and black pepper. Sprinkle with Pecorino Romano and thyme.
7
Roughly chop nettles, and spread over thyme. Sprinkle mozzarella, provolone, and fontina evenly on pizza. Carefully slide pizza onto the preheated stone; bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and crispy. Slice, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to taste.
