Instructions

Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour. Place a baking sheet or pizza stone on the top rack of the oven and preheat to 500°F (260°C) for at least 30 minutes.

Make the crispy garlic: combine the 6 paper-thin-sliced garlic cloves and 3 tbsp olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the slices turn pale golden and crisp at the edges, 4–6 minutes — watch closely, as they can go from golden to burnt quickly. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic chips to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve the garlic-infused oil in the saucepan.
