A simple recipe for a gourmet pizza featuring a creamy ricotta base drizzled with sweet honey, balanced with savory elements.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and pizza stone (if using) to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a baking sheet, lightly grease it.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll your pizza dough to your desired thickness. Place the dough on your prepared baking surface.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Spread the seasoned ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer. If using prosciutto, arrange the slices over the cheese.
  6. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven. Immediately drizzle the honey evenly over the top.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary and grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, you can whip the ricotta with a whisk before spreading it on the dough.
  • If you prefer a less sweet pizza, reduce the amount of honey used.
  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking for a slight heat contrast.
