Ingredients

• 1 ball (enough for 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups Ricotta cheese
• 0.25 cups (chopped) Fresh basil
• 2 teaspoons (chopped) Fresh oregano
• 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a parchment paper-lined pizza peel or cutting board.

Step 3

Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, leaving about half an inch around the edges for the crust.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread this mixture evenly over the oiled pizza dough.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Dollop small spoonfuls of ricotta cheese across the pizza, spacing them out evenly.

Step 7

In another small bowl, mix the chopped basil, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Sprinkle this herb mixture evenly over the pizza.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the pizza (including the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade herb cheese pizza!
