White Pizza

My grandmother didn't like sauce and always ordered white pizza--before fancy white slices were en vogue. This white pie with a dollop of ricotta is an ode to her.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly sprinkle 2 pizza stones or baking sheets with a dusting of cornmeal.
  2. Separate the pizza dough into 2 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll or stretch out each piece of dough, then transfer it to a prepared pizza stone or baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle each dough round with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top each with 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella and dot all over with 1/2 cup ricotta (about 10 dollops per pizza).
  4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the pans once halfway through baking.
  5. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and an additional drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

Notes

  • Skip the pre-shredded cheese--Use the best-quality low-moisture mozzarella you can find and shred it yourself. Don't use pre-shredded cheese as it does not melt well.
  • Storage--Store leftover pizza in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Rewarm on a baking sheet in a 300°F oven until heated through.
  • Dietary--This recipe is suitable for vegetarian diets. To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free pizza dough.
