Blackberry Basil Ricotta Pizza
Description
This recipe uses an unbaked pizza crust brushed with olive oil and topped first with smashed blackberries to build a fruity base. It is layered with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, followed by halved blackberries and dollops of ricotta cheese. The pizza is baked on a preheated stone at 500 degrees Fahrenheit which crisps the crust edges and melts the cheeses to a golden finish.
Fresh basil is scattered on top in the final minutes of baking or just before removing from the oven, introducing herbal freshness that complements the sweetness of the blackberries and creaminess of the ricotta. The pizza is sliced into eight pieces for serving, suitable as a unique appetizer or light main.
Ingredients
- 1 (14 to 16-inch) pizza crust unbaked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups blackberry about 1 pint
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 10 large basil roughly chopped, fresh leaves
Instructions
- Preheat a 14 to 16-inch pizza stone in an oven set to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare 1 (14 to 16-inch) unbaked pizza crust. Brush 1 tablespoon olive oil over the crust. Smash half of the blackberries and spread them out over the crust as well.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese over the pizza.
- Halve the remaining blackberries and scatter them over the pizza. Place heaping teaspoon-sized spoonfuls of ricotta randomly over the pizza.
- Bake on the pizza stone for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese starts to brown.
