Ingredients

• 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) or the highest temperature your oven allows. If available, place a pizza stone in the oven while it preheats.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If using a pizza stone, transfer the dough to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Brush the rolled-out dough with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring an even coating over the surface.

Step 4

Distribute the minced garlic evenly over the oiled dough.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly as the first layer of cheese.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the ricotta and mozzarella layers.

Step 8

Season the top with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 9

Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza carefully onto the hot stone.

Step 10

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden, and the crust is crisp and lightly browned.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Optionally, garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves before serving.
