- Why does the dough puff up so much?
- Since there is no heavy sauce on it, the dough rises more easily. If this bothers you, prick it with a fork before baking.
- What rosemary should I use?
- Fresh! Dried rosemary remains hard and burns easily in the oven.
Pizza Bianca
Pizza Bianca is a pure celebration of dough and seasoning. Since there is no tomato sauce to hide imperfections, every ingredient must be perfect. This rustic, Roman-rooted dish relies on the harmony of garlic, rosemary and quality olive oil, embraced by the creaminess of the cheeses.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Tip: A hot oven is the secret to a crisp base.
2
✓
Crush the garlic and mix with the olive oil.
Tip: Let it stand for a while so the oil infuses with the flavour (aroma extraction).
3
✓
Roll out the dough and brush thoroughly with the garlic oil.
Tip: This replaces the tomato sauce, adding flavour and protecting the dough from drying out.
4
✓
Scatter the torn mozzarella over the top and dot with ricotta.
Tip: Drain the mozzarella beforehand so it doesn't make the dough soggy.
5
✓
Sprinkle with the chopped rosemary and grated Parmesan.
Tip: The essential oils of the rosemary will permeate the whole pizza under the heat.
6
✓
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: Watch the edges, white pizza can brown faster.
7
✓
After baking, sprinkle with fresh basil.
Tip: Always add fresh herbs at the end to preserve their colour and fresh taste.
