White pizza is one on my favorite meals, and when I found this yummy recipe, I had to try it. (White Pizza – Table for Two® by Julie Chiou (tablefortwoblog.com). I credit the Table for Two blog for the inspiration, but I don’t even need a recipe to make it. All I need is pre-baked pizza dough, a bag of whole milk white mozzarella, garlic, and Italian seasoning.

Let me fill you in on it’s easiness. Any kind of crust will do. I use Dan the Man’s flatbread, if we have some on hand, but I’ve also used purchased flatbread or pizza crust. Whatever. I usually make one small pizza per person. I set my oven to 425 degrees and construct a tray such as this:

This is a sheet pan lined with parchment paper with a Pam-sprayed cooling rack on top. This allows the oven’s heat to more reliably crisp up the bottom of the pizza.

My big secret, though, is frozen crushed garlic. I get the packet from Target’s frozen veggie section, and it truly is a lifesaver for many dishes we make. You just pop out a frozen cube of garlic, equal to one clove, and put the remainder back in the freezer. For my white pizza, I put the cubes in a small bowl — using as many cubes as individual individual pizzas I am making — and pour in a couple tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. I let this sit for 15 minutes or so for the garlic to soften somewhat. I then mix the garlic/oil mixture and use a pastry brush to spread it all over the crusts.

Quick and easy so far, right? Now each flatbread gets about one cup of the whole-milk mozzarella spread on top,

and then the cheese gets sprinkled with Italian seasoning.

Put in the oven until the cheese has browned and melted — about ten minutes. I let the pizza sit for about five minutes after removing it from the oven. And then, before you know it, the darn pizza has been gobbled up!
