If opting for roasted garlic you will need this complete before starting the pizza. See my instructions for roasting garlic.
Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) or the highest level your oven can go.
Use a small amount of flour or cornmeal to sprinkle on the pizza stone or baking sheet, whichever you are using. If using a pizza peel you will need to dust it with a little flour as well.
If using a pizza stone (and pizza peel) place the stone in the center of the oven.
In a small bowl combine the roasted garlic with 4 tablespoons of melted butter and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Mix very well. *I usually opt for a quick pulse or two in a food processor or use a mortar and pestle to break up the roasted garlic.
Gently stretch your dough to a 12 to 16 inch circle on your baking pan and generously apply the garlic butter mixture all over the dough.
Sprinkle the mozzarella, Monterey jack, Parmesan, and cheddar cheeses.
Bake in the oven on the center rack at 500°F (260°C) for 8-12 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven when done. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
If using store-bought dough, follow the cooking instructions on the packaging.
For thicker crust pizza, stick with shaping a 12-inch pizza. For thin crust pizza, stretch the dough out to 16-inches.
