Unique Grilled Lemon and Ricotta Pizza: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 4 minute

Ingredients

– 1 store-bought pizza dough
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt, to taste
– Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish


Instructions

Making the Unique Grilled Lemon and Ricotta Pizza is a simple process. Follow these steps to create this amazing dish:

1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Ensure it’s large enough to fit on your grill.

2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, ensure all burners are set accordingly. For charcoal, ensure coals are evenly distributed.

3. Make the Ricotta Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

4. Grill the Dough: Lightly oil the grill grates and place the rolled-out pizza dough on the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is lightly charred.

5. Add Toppings: Flip the pizza dough over. Spread a generous layer of the ricotta mixture evenly across the surface. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

6. Finish Grilling: Close the grill lid and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust has grill marks.

7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the grill. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and enjoy!
