Instructions
To roast the garlic
- Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb skin, leaving the skins of the individual cloves intact. Using a knife, cut off 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of the top of cloves, exposing the individual cloves of garlic. Place the garlic heads in a baking pan (muffin pans work well for this purpose).
- Drizzle a couple teaspoons of olive oil over each head, using your fingers to make sure the garlic head is well coated. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves feel soft when pressed.
- Remove garlic gloves and smash with a fork.
- Spread roasted garlic over pizza dough. Do this to taste.
- Spread the pesto on the pizza.
- Add the sliced, cooked chicken.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella.
- Top with fresh grated Parmesan.
- Bake on pizza stone or baking pan at 500 degrees F for 8-12 minutes.
