Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Pizza Bowl

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Find an oven-safe bowl (metal or ceramic). Flip it upside down and lightly oil the outside.
3. Roll out your pizza dough into a large circle, big enough to drape over the bowl.
4. Mix melted butter, garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, Parmesan, and salt. Brush half over the dough.
5. Place dough over the inverted bowl, pressing lightly so it holds shape.
6. Bake 12–15 min until golden brown. Remove and carefully lift off the bowl. Brush inside with remaining garlic butter.
