Description

Explore the delightful fusion of flavors with our Blackberry Basil Ricotta Pizza recipe. This gourmet delight combines creamy ricotta cheese, fresh blackberries, and aromatic basil on a golden crust, creating a perfect balance of savory and sweet in every bite.


Ingredients

1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup fresh blackberries

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature for pizza baking (approximately 450°F / 230°C).
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.
  3. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Brush olive oil over the dough and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
  6. Distribute blackberries and mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
  7. Drizzle with a little more olive oil.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
  9. Remove from oven, sprinkle with basil, slice, and serve hot.

Notes

For a twist, try adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking.

Ensure fresh blackberries are patted dry to prevent excess moisture on the pizza.
