Make Pizza Dough
Preheat oven to 425º
Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add water and oil. Mix until well blended; about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour until soft dough ball is formed. Dough will be sticky. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons mashed, roasted elephant garlic.
Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if needed, until smooth and elastic; about 4 minutes. With floured hands, pat dough out to fill greased pizza pan, or dust work surface with 2 to 4 tablespoons cornmeal, roll dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a greased pizza pan. Top with desired pizza sauce, toppings and cheese.
Bake at 425 on bottom oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.
