Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
- On a floured surface, stretch dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil and garlic; brush over dough.
- Spread ricotta evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Sprinkle mozzarella, then Parmesan, over ricotta. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Slide pizza onto preheated stone or sheet. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, 12-15 minutes.
- Let cool 2 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh basil if desired. Slice and serve.
Tips
- For a crispier crust, preheat the baking sheet or stone for at least 30 minutes.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor.
- Leftover pizza can be reheated in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes.
