Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 oz) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven 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 evenly over the surface of the dough.
Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them evenly over the dough for a flavorful base.
In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and half of the thyme and rosemary. Spread the mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the ricotta layer.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the pizza and add the remaining thyme, rosemary, and optional red chili flakes for a subtle heat.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
