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