Description
Pizza Bianca, or White Pizza, is a delicious Italian-style pizza that skips the traditional tomato sauce in favor of a garlic-infused olive oil base topped with creamy ricotta, mozzarella, and fresh rosemary. This simple yet flavorful pizza is perfect for a quick homemade meal.
Ingredients
1 ball (about 12 ounces) pizza dough, at room temperature
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic.
Brush the garlic olive oil mixture evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing and serving.
