Skip the red sauce and try this easy garlic olive oil pizza base instead! Simply warm 1/2 cup olive oil with 4–5 minced garlic cloves over low heat for 2–3 minutes, just until the garlic is soft and fragrant (don't let it brown!). Stir in:
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan
Let it cool slightly, then brush it over your pizza dough before adding toppings. This savory white pizza base is delicious with mozzarella, ricotta, mushrooms, caramelized onions, kale, grilled chicken—or any of your favorite combinations! Simple, flavorful, and the perfect way to switch up pizza night.
