Phase 1: Roasted Garlic Butter
1. Cut the top off the garlic heads to slightly expose the cloves, then place them whole (with the skin on) in an ovenproof dish.
2. Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then bake at 180°C in a conventional oven for about 1 hour, until the garlic is tender and melting.
3. Once the garlic heads have cooled slightly, scoop out the flesh using a small spoon or by gently pressing the base.
4. Mash it in a bowl with the softened butter, add the chopped parsley, a little salt and pepper. Mix until you obtain a smooth and fragrant paste.

Phase 2: Shaping the pizza
1. Next, spread out the pizza dough into a large rectangle rather than a circle.
2. Spread the garlic butter mixture over it, then sprinkle with mozzarella cubes.

Phase 3: Cooking
1. Bake for 90 seconds at 400°C in your ZiiPa oven, or 12-15 minutes at 250°C in your traditional oven (static heat).

Phase 4: The service
1. As soon as it comes out of the oven, cut the pizza into 3 cm wide slices. Serve hot, directly from the board, with a little fresh parsley for the finishing touch.
