Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) or the highest temperature your oven allows. If available, place a pizza stone in the oven while it preheats.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If using a pizza stone, transfer the dough to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Brush the rolled-out dough with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring an even coating over the surface.
Distribute the minced garlic evenly over the oiled dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly as the first layer of cheese.
Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese across the surface of the pizza, spacing them evenly.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the ricotta and mozzarella layers.
Season the top with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza carefully onto the hot stone.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden, and the crust is crisp and lightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Optionally, garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves before serving.
