Garlicky Margherita Pizza

This Garlicky Margherita Pizza is my latest favorite pizza to make using the WW-friendly Two Ingredient Dough.

I love pizza and would eat it every night of the week if I could (and sometimes do). I like to mix it up and make all different types of pizza, all using the base of the Two Ingredient Dough pizza crust. This dough is so versatile and can be used for so many different things. One favorite – completely unrelated to pizza – is as the base for Cinnamon Rolls which I also make multiple times per week. Suffice it to say, I can make this dough in my sleep!

In addition, I love garlic and am always trying to find ways to incorporate it into my meals. This garlicky Margherita Pizza became a fast favorite in my family. We paired it with a Petite Syrah and it was ah-maz-ing. If you like wine, I highly recommend that combo. The garlic really brings out the flavors in the wine, but I digress.

This pizza is very easy to put together. And while you can put anything you like on your pizzas, this Garlicky Margherita Pizza combines garlic, roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil beautifully.

Helpful Tip: When making this pizza dough, I strongly recommend having a scraper handy. This dough gets very sticky and using a scraper helps preserve all of the dough. I’ve gotten it stuck many times and have been saved by this scraper many a time! I use this scraper that I found on Amazon.
