Heat the 4 tablespoons unsalted butter and 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until the butter melts. Add the 8 cloves garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until softened but not browned, about ⏲ 5 to 7 minutes. The goal here is to infuse the fat, not toast the garlic. Increase the heat to medium and add the ¾ cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, pinch red pepper flakes, and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.

Place a rack in the middle position of the oven and crank the heat to 425°F (218°C). Crumple a 15-by-15-inch piece of parchment paper into a loose ball, then run it under water to make it more pliable. Shake off the excess water. Press the parchment into a 9-inch springform pan, letting the edges stick up over the sides. Set the pan on a baking sheet. ☞ TESTER TIP: The baking sheet helps prevent the bottom from burning due to the extra sugar in the pomegranate molasses.
