Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and sprinkle them evenly over the olive oil-brushed dough.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving the border untouched.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the cheeses. If you like a little heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes as well.
Using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned in spots.
Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before slicing and serving.
