Pizza alla Ricotta

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
One of the creamiest representatives of 'white pizzas' (Pizza Bianca). Ricotta is a fresh whey cheese that is soft, milky, and slightly sweet. Unlike tomato sauce, it is not acidic, so the topping creates a much softer overall effect. The secret lies in the seasoning: ricotta is neutral on its own, so it requires salt, pepper, and garlic to come alive.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the ricotta in a sieve and let the excess whey drain off.

Tip: Removing water is key to a crisp crust. (Physical separation).
2 ✓

In a bowl, mix the drained ricotta with the crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy.

Tip: Salt helps highlight the natural sweetness of the milk sugar (lactose) in the cheese. (Flavour enhancement).
3 ✓

Roll out the dough and place it on the tray. Spread evenly with the seasoned ricotta cream.

Tip: Do not press down too hard with the spoon so as not to damage the structure of the dough.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan, then place the mozzarella slices on top.

Tip: The Parmesan forms a salty crust, while the mozzarella adds a stretchy texture.
5 ✓

Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edge is golden brown and the cheese is spotty.

Tip: White pizzas are worth baking a little longer because the moisture of the cheese cools the surface.
6 ✓

Remove and immediately sprinkle with fresh basil. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tip: Hot cheese burns, and flavours are also more pronounced when the food cools slightly.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the ricotta make the dough soggy?
Ricotta can contain a lot of water. Place it in a sieve for 20 minutes before use, or choose a drier variety.
Can I flavour the ricotta?
Absolutely! Lemon zest, nutmeg, or fresh herbs go wonderfully with it.
