Simple White Pizza Recipe

I love this simple white pizza recipe. I am a major fan or a creamy white pizza. This has a regular thick and soft crust straight out of the refridgerated section in your grocery store. Top it with some melted butter, creamy ricotta and a mix of mozzarella and parmesan. This pizza looks like it came from a restaurant. Make it in less than 30 minutes. You won't want to order take out anymore.

Equipment

  • Pizza Pan
  • Spoon
  • Fork

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Refrigerated Pizza Dough
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2~ Handfuls Shredded Mozzarella
  • 8 oz Sliced Fresh Mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp Fresh Oregano (Optional)
  • 2 tsp Fresh Basil (Optional)
  • Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Grease your pan and spread out your refrigerated pizza dough on top. Once you have your desired size and shape, I like to roll the edges up to create the crust and a barrier for toppings. Poke your dough with a fork all over. This helps it cook more evenly. Melt two tablespoons of butter with about a teaspoon each of fresh basil and oregano. (The herbs in this recipe are optional.) Spread the melted butter mixture all over your dough, even brushing it on the raised crust.
  • Add about 3-4 tablespoons of ricotta to your dough. Spread it around evenly with a spoon. Then, add shredded mozzarella all over the top. About 2 handfuls worth. Add your fresh sliced mozzarella all over the top of the shredded. I used the full 8 ounces. Finish off with some grated or shredded parmesan cheese, herbs, and red pepper flakes. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Serve while hot and enjoy!
