For the dough

Directions

Make the garlic water

Stir the crushed garlic into 1/2 cup warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the flavor infuses.

Mix the base liquids

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups warm water with sugar and salt. Pour in the garlic water and mix again.

Add flour and knead

Add the flour a bit at a time. Stir at first, then knead by hand once it comes together. Aim for a soft dough that holds its shape; adjust flour as needed.

Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a lightly floured bowl, cover, and rest in a warm spot for about 60–90 minutes, until noticeably puffy.

Shape and par-bake

Heat the oven to 220°C / 425°F. Divide the dough into 1–2 crusts, stretch it onto a pan, and par-bake for 8–10 minutes before adding toppings.

Finish as pizza

Add sauce and toppings. Bake 5–10 minutes more, until the edges brown and the bottom is cooked through. Slice and serve.

This garlic pizza crust recipe helps you make a simple yeast-style dough infused with garlic. Mix the liquids, work in the flour, let the dough rest until it puffs up, then pre-bake the crust and finish it with your favorite toppings.
