Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped mint leaves and lemon zest. Let it cool slightly.
5. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
