Ingredients

• 1 ball (approximately 12-16 ounces) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large (minced) Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups (freshly grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoons (optional) Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined pizza pan or a pizza peel if using a stone.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the dough and use a brush or your fingers to spread the oil evenly over the surface.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 5

Spread the ricotta mixture over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.

Step 6

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

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes over the cheese for a slight kick of heat.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the pizza.

Step 9

Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
