White pizza skips the tomato sauce and lets a few great ingredients shine. Creamy cheeses, roasted garlic and buttery Divina Frescatrano Olives are balanced by thin slices of lemon for a bright, flavorful finish.
INGREDIENTS
Premade pizza dough
8–10 lemon slices, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 fresh mozzarella ball, thinly sliced
1 c ricotta cheese
1/2 c Divina Pitted Frescatrano™ Olives, halved
1/2 c roasted garlic cloves
1/4 tsp crushed red chili flakes
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat to 550°F. Allow the stone to heat for at least 30 minutes.
- Toss the lemon slices with the olive oil and kosher salt.
- Lightly flour a pizza peel and stretch the dough into a 10- to 11-inch round. Transfer to the peel.
- Arrange the lemon slices over the dough. Top with the mozzarella and ricotta, placing the cheeses between the lemon slices.
- Add the Frescatrano Olives and roasted garlic cloves, then sprinkle with the crushed red chili flakes.
- Drizzle lightly with olive oil and slide the pizza onto the hot stone.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown, about 8 to 12 minutes. Rotate the pizza about two-thirds of the way through baking for even browning.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.
