Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12-16 ounces) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large (minced) Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups (freshly grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoons (optional) Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Lightly flour your work surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined pizza pan or a pizza peel if using a stone.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the dough and use a brush or your fingers to spread the oil evenly over the surface.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until evenly mixed.
Spread the ricotta mixture over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ricotta layer, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the cheese for a slight kick of heat.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the pizza.
Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
