Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza crust (or your favorite homemade dough)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and pizza stone or baking sheet according to your dough instructions, usually around 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. This is your creamy white pizza sauce.
  3. Stretch or roll out your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface or parchment paper.
  4. Spread the garlic ricotta mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a one-inch border for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the sauce layer.
  6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  7. Remove the white pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a minute, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, brush the exposed crust edges with a little extra olive oil before baking.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add one more tablespoon of heavy cream to the ricotta mixture.
  • This recipe works well with other white pizza toppings like sautéed mushrooms or cooked chicken.
