Like to take a swing at making pizza at home tonight? Pinky G’s will help you top that pie like the masters with the recipe for their powder hound pizza. The dough recipe is top secret, but you can pick up a round of dough from Pinky G’s, Jackson Whole Grocer, or Lucky’s. And here’s an additional tip: avoid packaged cheese and shred your own. Cooking time may vary at different elevations and in different ovens.
Ingredients
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Your favorite homemade or store-bought pizza dough
- 2 cups five-cheese mixture, grated (low-moisture mozzarella, low-moisture part-skim mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan and Romano)
- 1 cup cubed high-moisture buffalo mozzarella
- 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 550 F, or as high as your oven will allow.
- Mix garlic and oil together and let sit for at least one day (the longer, the better).
- Take basting brush and stir garlic oil to help infuse flavors.
- Dip and spread garlic and oil around the entire pizza, leaving a one-inch crust untouched.
- Spread all cheeses evenly over the oil base, spacing out the ricotta and buffalo mozzarella.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes.
- Finish with fresh chopped basil.
