Take note
Be cautious not to burn yourself when handling hot pizza, and keep a watchful eye on your oven to prevent burning the crust.

1

Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). This will ensure your pizza cooks evenly and the crust comes out perfectly crispy. Give your oven some time to reach that temperature.

2

Prepare the Pizza Dough

While your oven is preheating, prepare your pizza dough according to the package instructions or your favorite homemade pizza dough recipe. Roll it out into your desired pizza shape and thickness, making sure it fits on your pizza stone or baking sheet.

3

Brush on the Olive Oil

Lightly brush the surface of your pizza dough with some olive oil. This will add a pleasant flavor and help create a golden, crispy crust.

4

Spread the Ricotta Cheese

Spread a generous amount of creamy ricotta cheese onto the olive oil-brushed dough. Use the back of a spoon to evenly distribute the cheese. If you want to take it up a notch, you can mix in some minced garlic or dried herbs for added flavor.

5

Add Toppings

Get creative with your toppings! Some great options for a White Pizza include fresh mozzarella slices, thinly sliced red onions, chopped fresh basil leaves, and a sprinkle of dried oregano. Add as many or as few toppings as you like, but remember not to overload the pizza.

6

Grate the Parmesan

Grate a generous amount of Parmesan cheese over the entire pizza. The Parmesan will add a delightful salty kick to the creamy white base.

7

Bake to Perfection

Carefully transfer your topped pizza to the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent any burning!

8

Ready to Serve

Once your White Pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into slices with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, and get ready to dive into a cheesy masterpiece!
