Roasted Garlic Pizza Dough

Roasted Garlic Pizza Dough is made with roasted elephant garlic. If you’ve never used elephant garlic before you don’t know what your missing. What is elephant garlic? Exactly what the name suggests. Elephant garlic has humongous cloves, hence the name. When roasted, the flavor of garlic becomes sweet and mild. The next time your at the grocery store, look for elephant garlic in your produce section.

Spice World

Spice World  is the brand that I’m most familiar with and can be found in most grocery stores in my area. When I made this recipe I was visiting my daughter and her family in Athens GA. I bought Spice World elephant garlic at Publix. If you happen to come across elephant garlic at your local grocery store, pick up a package and roast it! Then you can use it in a sandwich, make a dip or what the heck, why not give this recipe a try.

Hungry for more Roasted Garlic Recipes??

Once you start roasting garlic and I’m positive you’ll be delighted with the results, you’ll be adding roasted garlic to everything! You’ll be able to make this recipe for pizza dough and make a delicious cheese pizza. Roasted Garlic Spread with Three Cheeses is another terrific recipe to make using roasted garlic. Smear roasted garlic on buttered french bread for a fast and delicious garlic bread.

Serve Anytime

One thing I like about pizza is you can serve pizza anytime. A few years ago when we moved up north, we found out that pizza delivery service is literally non-existent. Since frozen pizza gets old after awhile, I started making my own pizza. Making your own pizza means you need to make pizza dough. Sometimes I purchase pizza dough, found in the deli/bakery department of my local grocery store. (which sells for under $2)
