Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Prepare a pizza pan, baking sheet, or pizza stone with a light dusting of cornmeal.

- Roll out the pizza dough onto the prepared pan or stone.
- Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic.
- Spread the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.

- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme or rosemary on top.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Goat cheese or feta adds a tangy flavor that pairs beautifully with sweet potatoes.Drizzle with balsamic glaze after baking for extra depth of flavor.Arugula makes a fresh and peppery topping after baking.Smoked gouda or fontina cheese can be used instead of mozzarella.Baking on a pizza stone helps create a crispier crust.
