Serves: 2 baguettes (about 10 pieces)
 
Ingredients
  • 4 heads of garlic
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 box deep dish pizza crust
  • 10 slices provolone cheese
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 Tlbs. butter (I used salted), melted
  • 1 tsp. oregano
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the top third off of each head of garlic. Brush with olive and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place on a large piece of foil, and pul all the edges up, fold over to create a pouch. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 35-45 minutes or until garlic is easily pierced with a knife. Let cool slightly and remove all garlic from the skins. Transfer to a bowl and mash with a fork.
  2. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees. Great a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Make pizza dough according to package directions. Split dough in half and place one half on a floured surface. Roll out dough to a 4x10 rectangle. Repeat with other piece of dough.
  4. Spread each rectangle with half of garlic mixture. Season with plenty of salt and pepper.
  5. Layer provolone cheese on top (5 on each) making sure to leave a little border on the right side.
  6. Sprinkle half of mozzarella cheese on the long left side of the pizza dough so it's all on one side. Roll up dough jelly roll-style, pinch all the edges to seal the dough, you don't want all of the cheese to escape.
  7. Place each roll on the baking sheet. Brush the entire surface and sides with melted butter. Sprinkle with oregano and plenty of salt. Cut three slits in the top of each bread roll.
  8. Bake until golden brown and some of the cheese is oozing out of the top, about 20 minutes.
  9. Cut each cheese bread in to five slices. Serve immediately.
