What is a white pizza?

A white pizza is a type of pizza that does not have a traditional tomato-based sauce. Instead, it is typically made with a base of olive oil, garlic, and cheese, resulting in a pizza with a white or light-colored appearance. Here's a basic recipe for a white pizza:

Ingredients:

  • Pizza dough
  • Olive oil
  • Minced garlic
  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Fresh herbs (such as basil or oregano)
  • Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, etc.

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature for baking the pizza.
  • Roll out your pizza dough to the desired thickness and shape. Place it on a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the dough, spreading it evenly with a brush or the back of a spoon.
  • Sprinkle minced garlic over the oiled dough. Adjust the amount to your taste preference.
  • Add a layer of mozzarella cheese over the garlic and oil. You can use either shredded or sliced mozzarella.
  • Drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top of the mozzarella. Space them out evenly across the pizza.
  • Sprinkle-grated Parmesan cheese over the pizza.
  • If desired, add any additional toppings such as sliced tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, or other vegetables.
  • Bake the pizza in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The baking time may vary, but it is usually around 12-15 minutes.
  • Once the pizza is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Garnish the white pizza with fresh herbs, such as torn basil leaves or dried oregano.
  • Slice the pizza into desired portions and serve hot.
