Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough
- 2 cups heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Red pepper flakes optional
Instructions:
Set your oven to 475F 245C before you start cooking
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to the thickness you want
Place the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet after it has been rolled out
Put the minced garlic and olive oil in a small bowl and mix them together
Spread this mixture out on the pizza dough in a thin layer
Make sure the ricotta cheese is spread out evenly over the dough
Leave a little space around the edges for the crust
On top of the ricotta cheese, put the thinly sliced heirloom tomatoes
To taste, add salt and black pepper
On top of the tomatoes, put the shredded mozzarella cheese
Place the pizza in an oven that has already been heated up
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and a little browned
As soon as you take the pizza out of the oven, cover it with grated Parmesan cheese and ripped fresh basil leaves
For some heat, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes
Let the pizza cool down for a few minutes before cutting it up and serving it
