Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ball of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats up. Otherwise, use a regular baking sheet.
- Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- Brush the dough with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
- Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the ricotta.
- Scatter fresh blackberries over the pizza and gently press them into the cheese.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza (using the parchment paper) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle it with honey and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top. For an extra flavor boost, drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
- Slice and Enjoy: Cut into slices and enjoy this unique and flavorful pizza!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of blackberries based on personal preference.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
