Pizza all’Olio

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
A close relative of the ancestor of pizza, 'focaccia'. Here there is no cheese, no tomato, just the holy trinity of dough, oil, and spices. This dish is about the quality of the dough: if your dough is good, this pizza will be heavenly. If bad, it's just dry bread. In Italy, it is often consumed as 'antipasti' (starter) accompanying wine.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Crush the garlic and mix with half of the oil.

Tip: Let stand so the flavours mingle.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough and place it on the tray. Use your fingers to press small indentations into the dough (like for focaccia).

Tip: The oil sits in these little 'pools' and doesn't run off the dough.
3 ✓

Brush with the garlic oil, sprinkle with chopped rosemary and the coarse salt.

Tip: The salt highlights the cereal taste of the dough.
4 ✓

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Tip: Since there is no wet topping, it bakes faster than other pizzas. Watch it!
5 ✓

Remove, drizzle with the remaining fresh olive oil, and garnish with basil. Serve warm.

Tip: The raw, fruity taste of the fresh oil contrasts with the roasted garlic oil.

Recipe FAQ

Won't it be too dry?
Not if you use enough good quality olive oil. The oil soaks into the dough, keeping it soft and juicy.
What salt should I use?
Coarse sea salt (Maldon or fleur de sel) is best, which crunches under your teeth.
