White Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 1½ cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ¾ cup Ricotta cheese
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 clove Garlic
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• ¼ cup Fresh basil (optional)
• ½ tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Black pepper
• ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
2. Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the garlic sauce.
3. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
4. Brush the garlic sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan.
5. Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the pizza.
6. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
7. Remove from oven, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and garnish with fresh basil and red pepper flakes (if using).
8. Slice and serve hot.
