Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
All-purpose flour, for dusting hands and work surface
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup torn mozzarella
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator 1 hour before starting.
  • Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, lemon zest, oregano and salt. Set aside.
  • Using a touch of flour to prevent sticking, stretch out the pizza dough into an 11-by-16-inch oval. Coat a baking sheet with the olive oil. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet and spread evenly with the ricotta mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the ricotta.
  • Bake on the lower rack for 10 minutes. Rotate to the upper rack and bake until deep golden brown, an additional 10 minutes. Remove the pizza to a cooling rack and sprinkle with the Parmesan, basil and pepper flakes. Cut into pieces and serve.

The crust was a little too thick for my taste, but the toppings were delicious.

This pizza was a bit too tangy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think it would be good to add a little bit of sugar to the sauce to balance out the flavor.

This pizza was so easy to make and it turned out great! I used a pre-made crust and it still came out delicious.
