Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • Finely ground cornmeal (for the baking sheet)
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • All-purpose flour (for the work surface)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling (optional))
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • Coarse sea salt ((optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly sprinkle 2 pizza stones or baking sheets with a dusting of cornmeal.
  • Separate the pizza dough into 2 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll or stretch out each piece of dough, then transfer it to a prepared pizza stone or baking sheet.
  • Drizzle each dough round with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top each with 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella and dot all over with 1/2 cup ricotta (about 10 dollops per pizza).
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the pans once halfway through baking.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and an additional drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
