Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12-14 ounces) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional) Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 leaves (optional, for garnish) Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If you prefer a thinner crust, you can stretch it slightly larger.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the entire surface of the pizza dough with olive oil, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, then spread the mixture evenly over the olive oil-coated dough.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza as the base layer.
Drop dollops of ricotta cheese evenly across the pizza, spacing them out for balanced bites of creamy flavor.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top, ensuring an even distribution.
Add a sprinkle of oregano and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone (or place the parchment paper directly on your oven rack or a baking sheet if not using a stone). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if using, then slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your 4 Points White Pizza!
