Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Fresh ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Aim for about a 12-inch circle.

Step 3

Lightly brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, minced garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the oiled pizza dough, leaving the edges uncovered.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet using a pizza peel or back of a tray.

Step 8

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the pizza for a fresh garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
