Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves Essential for garlic oil and provides a robust flavor; substitute with garlic powder if fresh garlic is unavailable.
  • 1/4 cup Extra-virgin olive oil Used for garlic oil, adds richness and aroma; substitute with any good quality olive oil.
For the Pizza Base
  • 1 batch Fresh pizza dough The base for the pizza, providing structure; replace with store-bought dough or DeLallo Pizza Dough Mix for a quick alternative.
For the Toppings
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese Adds creaminess and gooey texture; can use part-skim mozzarella or a dairy-free alternative for vegan options.
  • 1 cup DeLallo Tomato Bruschetta Key topping that imparts fresh tomato and herb flavor; substitute with homemade bruschetta mix if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Fresh torn basil leaves Adds freshness and color; use dried basil in a pinch, though fresh is preferable.
  • 2 tablespoons DeLallo Balsamic Glaze Finishing touch for sweetness and acidity; optional but highly recommended for flavor enhancement.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a small bowl, combine finely grated garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until blended, ensuring the garlic is evenly distributed in the oil. Set aside this fragrant garlic oil while you prepare the rest of the dish, letting the flavors meld together for a few minutes.
  2. Place a pizza stone or a baking sheet in the oven and preheat it to a blazing 500°F. Keeping the stone in as the oven heats will create that sought-after crispiness for your Bruschetta Pizza. This usually takes about 30 minutes, so take this time to prepare your dough and toppings.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your fresh pizza dough into a round shape about 12 to 14 inches in diameter. Aim for a thickness of approximately ¼ inch to ensure a perfectly cooked crust. Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment paper-lined peel or directly onto a floured surface for easy moving to the oven.
  4. Brush a generous amount of the prepared garlic oil over the surface of your dough, ensuring an even coating that reaches the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the dough, allowing for a delicious melty layer that will mingle beautifully with the toppings once baked.
  5. Carefully transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese bubbles enticingly. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to avoid burning while achieving that perfect pizza look.
  6. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and quickly spoon DeLallo Tomato Bruschetta over the cheese, spreading it evenly. Add the fresh torn basil leaves on top for a pop of color and freshness. If desired, drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra touch of flavor and sweetness.
  7. Allow the pizza to cool for a moment, then slice it into wedges. Serve warm with your favorite sides or a refreshing salad, inviting everyone to gather around and enjoy your homemade Bruschetta Pizza.
