Description
A unique and delicious twist on pizza featuring a creamy ricotta base, fresh blackberries, and fragrant basil leaves. Topped with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, this pizza is the perfect balance of savory and sweet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or preheated pizza stone.
- Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Scatter the fresh blackberries over the ricotta cheese.
- Drizzle olive oil over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the pizza in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is slightly bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with torn basil leaves.
- If desired, drizzle with balsamic glaze for an added touch of sweetness and tang.
- Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of Parmesan or mozzarella cheese before baking.
- If you don’t have balsamic glaze, you can use a splash of regular balsamic vinegar for a slightly different effect.
- Fresh mozzarella can be used in place of ricotta for a more traditional pizza flavor.
