- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated (see note 2)
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. For the best results, preheat a pizza stone while you are preheating the oven.
- Roll out the pizza dough and place it on the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet. Brush it with the olive oil and top with minced garlic.pizza dough, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 garlic cloves

- Bake the pizza for 15 to 18 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes
- Look for a package of mozzarella that is listed "fresh mozzarella." It has a different texture than a block of mozzarella. It will be a solid ball, and you then slice it very thin.
- I highly recommend buying a block of Parmesan cheese and shredding it for the best results.
