Ricotta and Herb Pizza Recipe

Ricotta and Herb Pizza Recipe :: Ricotta and Herb Pizza Recipe ::

During warmer months (it’s almost June at this time) I’m very choosy about turning on my oven.  This recipe most definitely gets bumped ahead of any others often.  It’s incredibly easy, absolutely delicious, and I find it perks up anyone suffering from “salad again for dinner?” woes.

Scroll down to find the exact recipe; but for anyone wanting to take the basic structure and experiment with your own ideas, I start with my sourdough bread recipe (which would generously make 2 pizzas) but during the last 3 min being mixed, I add 2 Tbsp of olive oil. I turn dough into an oiled casserole dish, then flip it over for raising. Once it’s raised I pat it out onto a greased cookie sheet and pre bake about 20  min.  This dough is perfect for pizza – I love that I’m not using commercial yeast and the hint of sour flavor in the pizza is a beautiful thing! 🙂

My herbs currently doing well in the garden are lemon balm, oregano, and basil. I mix them with minced garlic into the ricotta and spread onto the dough, topping with mexican blend shredded cheese – mainly because that’s the cheese I most commonly have on hand! It’s not gourmet and I’m sure it breaks some sort of pizza making etiquette, but it works really well for our family.  Why mess with happiness, right?

The salad in the picture is fresh kale and arugula tossed with herbs, homemade croutons, and a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

The smell of the herbs baking is enough to make me feel fabulous about the dinner I’m serving.  What a great way to share smiles at the table!
