garlic pizza recipe (german style)

If you like garlic and pizza you will be in heaven. For this pizza dough you won't need any yeast and therefore no rising time is involved. The crust should be almost paper thin for best results.

for 2 pizzas you need:

220 g flour (I use whole wheat)

100 ml/g water

3 tbsp olive oil

1 egg yolk

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp creme fraiche (or sour creme)

2 garlic bulbs (I know!)

200 g aged cheddar

fresh thyme

2 tbsp olive oil for drizzle

• mix flour, water, olive oil, salt and egg yolk in a bowl to a smooth dough.
• divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and wrap in plastic foil.
• let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature
• preheat the oven at 430 Fahrenheit
• cut the garlic super thin
• grate the cheese
• roll the dough super thin in 2 ca 11" diameter pizza
• sprinkle with olive oil
• spread the 1 tbsp creme fraiche on each pizza
• add garlic and thyme
• salt and pepper to taste
• top with cheese
• bake for about 15 minutes on bottom rack.

 Guten Appetit!

Tip: serve with tomato salad
