Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Aim for about a 12-inch circle.
Lightly brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the oiled pizza dough, leaving the edges uncovered.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the ricotta layer, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet using a pizza peel or back of a tray.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the pizza for a fresh garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
