Ingredients
1 pound pizza dough
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone inside if using. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
2. In a small pan, warm olive oil over low heat. Add minced garlic and let it gently infuse without browning.
3. Place rolled dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel. Brush garlic oil generously over the dough.
4. Add dollops of ricotta over the surface. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly. Season with Italian herbs and red pepper flakes.
5. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
6. Garnish with fresh herbs, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
Use fresh garlic for the most flavorful oil infusion.
Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes before slicing to avoid a runny cheese mess.
Customize with your favorite cheese blends or extra toppings like mushrooms or spinach.
