　　1 pound store-bought pizza dough

　　1/2 pound cold mozzarella (preferably salted fresh)

　　1 tablespoon rosemary leaves

　　

Step 1

Put a large (17-by 14-inch) heavy baking sheet on lowest rack of oven, then preheat oven to 500°F.

　　

Step 2

Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then stir together with oil.

　　

Step 3

Roll out dough into a 16-by 13-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, stretching corners with your hands. (Dough will become easier to roll out as it warms.) Transfer to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly prick dough all over with a fork. Stir garlic mixture and brush evenly over dough. Slide dough (on parchment) onto hot baking sheet. Bake until top is puffed and pale golden in patches, 6 to 10 minutes. (Prick any large bubbles with a fork and flatten.) Meanwhile, thinly slice mozzarella and pat dry.
