White Pizza with Garlic and Herbs Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 35 min total

A creamy, garlicky white pizza with a blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan, topped with fresh herbs for a fragrant and delicious twist on classic pizza.

Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
2. On a floured surface, stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
3. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and minced garlic. Brush over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
4. In another bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Spread evenly over the dough.
5. Top with shredded mozzarella. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
6. Slide pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, 12-15 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley, basil, and oregano. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, preheat your pizza stone for at least 30 minutes.
• Substitute dried herbs if fresh are unavailable: use 1 teaspoon dried basil and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
• Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a 350°F oven.
