Ingredients
1 pizza dough ball
2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup fresh arugula (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while heating.
2. Lightly flour your surface and stretch the dough into a 10–12 inch round.
3. In a small pan, heat olive oil with minced garlic for a few minutes until fragrant. Don’t let the garlic brown.
4. Transfer dough to a peel or sheet. Brush with garlic oil all the way to the edges.
5. Add dollops of ricotta, place mozzarella slices evenly, and sprinkle parmesan on top. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Bake for 8–12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and browned.
7. Remove and top with fresh arugula. Let rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
Let dough come to room temperature before stretching for best texture.
Use a pizza stone or steel for a crispy bottom crust.
Add fresh herbs like basil after baking for extra flavor.
