This Heirloom Tomato and Ricotta Pizza is a delightful combination of fresh, vibrant heirloom tomatoes and creamy ricotta cheese on a crispy pizza crust. Its a perfect way to savor the flavors of summer

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
