In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and yeast. Add the water and mix with a wooden spoon or your hands. It should be sticky, but not lumpy.
Cover with saran wrap and a towel in a warm place, allowing it to rise for 24 hours. Transfer to a floured surface and shape into ball. Use when ready.

If not already done, roast your garlic.
Place pizza stone in oven 8" from the broiler element and preheat to 500°F. You want stone to be in oven for at least 30 minutes at 500°F.
In a small bowl combine the roasted garlic, butter, fresh herbs and salt.
Sprinkle pizza peel with cornmeal or flour. Use your hands to gently tug, pull and push the dough to the shape you want and place on pizza peel.
Add the garlic butter mixture evenly over the dough, leaving the edges untouched. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top.
Once stone is preheated, turn broiler to high. Transfer pizza to pizza stone and bake for 4-5 minutes or until top is bubbly and bottom is golden brown.

Take the time to make your own dough. My go-to is this no-knead pizza dough.
If you like some heat, add in ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic and butter mixture.
Take the time to grate your own cheese. No pre-shredded cheese with this pizza.
Use a pizza stone so you can broil the pizza and get a nice crust, but bubbly top.
