Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the center.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or desired shape. Transfer it to a pizza stone, baking sheet, or parchment-lined pizza peel.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the dough, spreading it evenly with a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, ricotta cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and spread evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 7

Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.

Step 9

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your quick white pizza!
