Blackberry, Basil and Ricotta Pizza

INGREDIENTS:

To embark on this culinary journey, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

Fresh blackberries

Ricotta cheese

Fresh basil leaves

Olive oil

Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of creating this culinary masterpiece:

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your pizza dough package or recipe.

Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Spread a layer of ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Scatter fresh blackberries evenly over the ricotta cheese.

Tear fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the blackberries.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the pizza and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are bubbly and fragrant, typically 10-15 minutes.

Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Optional: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the pizza for an extra burst of flavor.
