Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the center.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or desired shape. Transfer it to a pizza stone, baking sheet, or parchment-lined pizza peel.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the dough, spreading it evenly with a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, ricotta cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and spread evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ricotta layer, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your quick white pizza!
