White Pizza

White Pizza is a rich and creamy alternative to traditional tomato-based pizza, featuring a blend of cheeses and garlic on a crispy crust. This delicious Italian-inspired dish is perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (12-inch)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil, then evenly spread the minced garlic over the surface.
  4. Distribute the ricotta cheese in small dollops across the dough, followed by an even layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  5. Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  6. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

For an added flavor boost, drizzle a little truffle oil over the pizza just before serving or add sautéed spinach as a topping.
