Ingredients
Roasted Tomatoes
- 1 lb plum tomatoes seeded and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Herb Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons basil crushed, dried
- 2 teaspoons thyme crushed, dried
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Pizza
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1 cup ricotta cheese drained if needed
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4-6 oz mozzarella cheese shredded
- balsamic vinegar optional, drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250ºF. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, olive oil, sugar and salt. Spread the tomatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the tomatoes until they are soft and shriveled, about 2 hours.
- Place a pizza stone in the oven and raise the heat to 450ºF. Allow the stone to heat for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the pizza.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, basil, thyme and salt. Set aside.
- On a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal, or on a piece of parchment paper, roll the pizza dough out into a round. Use a pastry brush to brush the entire surface of the dough with the herb oil.
- In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, garlic and salt. Spread the ricotta mixture over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the pizza. Spread the roasted tomatoes over the top of the ricotta, then sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake until the crust is browned and the cheese is bubbly, 8-10 minutes.
- If desired, drizzle the pizza with balsamic drizzle before serving.
Notes
- *to make a balsamic drizzle, combine 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and bring to a boil. Cook down until reduced by half. You can also purchase a store-bought balsamic drizzle at most grocery stores or online.
