Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or desired shape.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried oregano until smooth.
Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza dough, avoiding the border.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the ricotta layer, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Carefully remove the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle it with a little cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Transfer the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated surface and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Great White Pizza!
