| Method: |
PIZZA DOUGH Dissolve the yeast in about 1/4 cup water which is quite warm.
When the yeast has bcome foamy, in about 10 minutes, add it to the rest of the water, which should be likewarm.
Mix the flours and make a well in the center. Gradually stir the water and yeast into the well. Add the olive oil and salt. Gather the dough and knead it for 7 to 8 minutes, or until it is soft and lively.
Let the dough double in bulk in a lightly oiled bowl, preferably in the refrigerator overnight. Punch the dough down, divide it into portions, and roll these lightly into balls. Let them rest, covered with a towl, on a lightly floured surface for 20 minutes, or until the dough comes to room temperature if it was refrigerated.
Stretch the dough gently with your hands on lightly oiled baking pans, or on floured bakers' peels if you will be baking it on a baking stone. Let the dough rise in a warm place, covered, for 15 minutes before topping or filling and baking.
Preheat the oven and baking stone for 30 minutes at 500 F, or preheat the oven for 15 minutes at 450 F if you are baking on metal pans.
TOPPING Mix the garlic with the olive oil, mashing the roasted cloves well into the oil. Spread this mixture on the prepared pizza dough. Season lightly with salt.
Scatter the cheese evenly over the pizzas except on the rims.
Bake the pizzas until they are done, from 7 or 8 minutes ot 15 minutes, depending on whether you are using a baking stone or metal baking pans.
For an herb garnish, chop the leaves and sprinkle them over the pizzas before cutting and serving.
ROASTING SEPARATE CLOVES OF GARLIC Preheat the oven to 250 F. Break the garlic head into cloves, leaving the inner skins on. Place in a small oven-proof dish and add the olive oil, thyme, and bay leaf. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Bake the garlic until it is very tender, about 40 minutes. Turn the cloves over from time to time. Remove the dish from the oven and let the garlic cool to room temperature.
NOTES : The dough can be set in a warm, draft-free place, covered with a = towel or plastic wrap, for 1 hour, or until double instead of put in the = refrigerator.. More garlic can be can be spread on pizza. Two thinly sliced tomatoes can be put on pizzas after the garlic and befo= re the cheese.
One-quarter cup Parmesan cheese can be added after the mozzarella cheese.
