Expert Tips

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder can be substituted for the roasted garlic in the tomato mixture and 1 teaspoon garlic powder can be substituted for the roasted garlic in the butter mixture.

Shredded mozzarella cheese can be substituted for the fresh mozzarella cheese, and this pizza will still taste great.

This was very popular in my house. I liked the extra flavor added by cooking the tomatoes with the garlic, and spreading garlic and butter on the crust. Even though I had to use dried basil and regular shredded mozzarella instead of fresh, the pizza was very flavorful. I'm sure it would be even better with those ingredients!
