Instructions
Creating the Amazing Ricotta Pizza With Spicy Honey Swirl is a simple task when you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza peel.
3. Mix Ricotta: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth.
4. Spread Ricotta: Evenly spread the ricotta mixture over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
5. Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the ricotta layer.
6. Add Parmesan: Top with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a touch of richness.
7. Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or pizza stone) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
8. Drizzle with Honey: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle the spicy honey over the top.
9. Garnish: Optionally, add fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
10. Slice and Serve: Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve hot.
Following these steps will lead you to a stunning and delicious pizza perfect for any occasion.
