Instructions

Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Sprinkle cornmeal (if using) on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roll Dough: Lightly flour your work surface. Gently stretch or roll the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Curl the edge slightly to form a thicker crust.
Make Ricotta Mixture: In a small bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Oil and Garlic: Brush olive oil evenly over the pizza dough. Sprinkle minced garlic over the oil.
Add Ricotta and Mozzarella: Dollop the ricotta mixture over the dough and spread evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley (optional). Cracked red pepper flakes can be added at the table.

Notes

Cornmeal adds a nice texture to the crust.
Fresh herbs can be used in place of dried herbs.
Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven.
