This recipe takes the classic Margherita pizza and adds a delightful twist with a creamy ricotta base and a hint of garlic.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve a crispy crust.
Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet.
Using a pre-made crust saves time and ensures consistency.
Brush the crust with olive oil evenly.
This step helps to create a golden and crispy base.
Spread the ricotta cheese over the crust as a base layer.
Using ricotta cheese adds a creamy texture to the pizza.
Arrange the sliced tomatoes evenly over the ricotta layer.
Slice the tomatoes thinly for even cooking.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomatoes.
Distribute the cheese evenly for a uniform melt.
Add fresh basil leaves on top.
Tear the basil leaves for a rustic look and enhanced flavor.
Sprinkle garlic powder over the entire pizza.
A light sprinkle of garlic powder adds a subtle depth of flavor.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Keep an eye on the pizza to avoid overcooking.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Allowing the pizza to cool slightly helps the cheese set for cleaner slices.
