   Make the crackers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the asiago and cayenne in a small bowl.

   Dust the pizza dough lightly with flour, then run it through a pasta roller, adjusting the setting thinner each time and dusting with more flour as needed, until about 1/8 inch thick.

   Cut the top off the garlic and squeeze the roasted cloves out of the skin.
