Ingredients

  • ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn into small pieces
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
  • Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
  • OLIVE OIL MIXTURE: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Spread OLIVE OIL MIXTURE over the surface of the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with mozzarella and dollops of ricotta; sprinkle with Parmesan.
  • Place into oven and bake for 20-24 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with basil, if desired.
