Method:

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Prepare the dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness (thin crust works best for this pizza). Transfer it to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Garlic oil: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Assemble the pizza: Evenly spread the ricotta cheese over the dough, then top with shredded mozzarella. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary or thyme.

Bake the pizza: Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden.

Finishing touches: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Add a few fresh basil leaves for garnish if you like.

Tips & Variations:

For a creamier texture: You can replace some of the ricotta with béchamel sauce for a richer flavor.

Add toppings: Try adding sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or even pancetta for extra flavor.

Gluten-free options: Use a gluten-free pizza dough or cauliflower crust if you prefer a gluten-free version.

Dairy-free option: Substitute the cheeses with plant-based alternatives like vegan mozzarella and ricotta.
