Pizza al Rosmarino (Rosemary and Garlic White Pizza)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
One of the most ancient Roman forms of 'Pizza Bianca'. Often eaten as antipasti or bread substitute. No tomatoes, no cheese mountains, just dough, oil, garlic, and rosemary. The secret is the 'soffritto' (flavours dissolving in oil) and dough quality.

Instructions

1 ✓

Crush garlic and mix with olive oil in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Tip: This is 'infusion': oil takes on garlic flavour, allowing even distribution over dough.
2 ✓

Roll out dough thinly and place on baking tray.

Tip: Stretch dough by hand, not rolling pin, to avoid squeezing out all air bubbles.
3 ✓

Brush thoroughly with garlic oil.

Tip: Oil layer prevents dough surface drying out and bakes it crispy.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with chopped rosemary and sea salt flakes.

Tip: Salt's hygroscopic effect (drawing moisture) makes surface crispier and causes flavour bursts when bitten.
5 ✓

Bake at 220°C for 10 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: Watch that garlic doesn't burn dark brown, as it becomes bitter.
6 ✓

Remove and immediately grate Parmesan over it.

Tip: Add Parmesan only at the end, as its low moisture content means it burns easily in the oven.

Recipe FAQ

Why high heat?
Sudden heat (220°C+) causes gas bubbles in dough to expand (oven spring) and crust to crisp, whilst inside remains soft.
