Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Prepare the garlic by slicing the top off the head of garlic, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic in aluminum foil and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and caramelized.
- While the garlic roasts, roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Assembly
- Once the garlic is ready, squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a small bowl. Mash them with a fork to create a smooth paste. Mix in the ricotta cheese, one tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Spread the garlic-ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza dough.
- Top with the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, oregano, and crushed red pepper if desired.
Baking
- Bake the pizza for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
