1-Getting started: with this buttery garlic pizza is straightforward and fun. Begin by preheating your oven with a pizza steel or stone at 500°F (260°C) for 45 minutes to ensure a crispy crust. Generously flour a pizza peel and shape one dough ball into a 12-inch circle for the base.

2-Next: in a saucepan, melt the stick of salted butter with the 3 chopped garlic cloves over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes until it’s fragrant. Then, mix in the 2 tablespoons of minced green onion, 1 tablespoon of minced rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme to create a flavorful spread. Spread this garlic butter mixture over the dough, and sprinkle with half the herb mixture, flaky salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

3-Bake the pizza: for 5 minutes, then broil for 2-4 minutes until it’s golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with half the 2 tablespoons of minced chives before serving. Repeat the process with the second dough ball for another pizza. For variations, you can integrate tips like adjusting quantities if making two pizzas, use 1½ sticks of butter and 4 garlic cloves.
