  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 11 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pre-made pizza dough
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1 large lemon (zest and juice)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
– Optional: red pepper flakes for added heat


Instructions

Creating the Unique Grilled Lemon and Ricotta Pizza is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

2. Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, typically around 12 inches in diameter.

3. Create the Base: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel for easy transfer to the grill.

4. Mix the Ricotta Topping: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

5. Add the Ricotta Mixture: Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

6. Top with Mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ricotta layer.

7. Grill the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

8. Add Lemon Juice: Once the pizza is cooked, remove it from the grill and immediately drizzle fresh lemon juice over the top.

9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top and add red pepper flakes if desired.

10. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy the vibrant flavors.
