Ingredients
– 1 pound pizza dough
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

– ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
– 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)

2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
3. Mix the minced garlic with olive oil in a small bowl.
4. Brush the garlic oil generously over the pizza dough, including the edges.
5. Drop spoonfuls of ricotta evenly over the dough.
6. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the top.
7. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley or basil, slice, and serve hot!
Notes
– Fresh garlic makes this pizza extra flavorful—don’t skip it!
– For extra crispy crust, brush the edges with olive oil before baking.
– Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables to balance the richness.
– To reheat leftovers, bake at 400°F for 5–7 minutes until crispy again.
