Whole Wheat Margherita Pizza with Ricotta

  1. Margherita Pizza

This Margherita pizza offers a delightful and wholesome take on the Italian classic, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering. It features a robust whole wheat crust, providing a nutty flavor and satisfying texture that sets it apart from traditional pizzas. The base is generously spread with a vibrant, uncooked tomato sauce, creating a fresh and tangy foundation. It's then adorned with delicate fresh mozzarella, which melts into gooey perfection, and creamy dollops of ricotta cheese, adding an unexpected richness and a beautiful contrast to the brighter flavors. Fresh basil leaves are scattered generously, contributing an aromatic and peppery finish. A final drizzle of high-quality olive oil enhances all the ingredients, bringing together a Margherita pizza that is both hearty and elegantly simple, perfectly showcasing its artisanal character.

Tips

  • Ensure your oven is fully preheated for a crispy crust. A hot pizza stone or steel is key for even cooking.
  • Don't overload the pizza; a light hand with toppings allows each flavor to shine, especially with a Margherita.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the cheese at its gooey best and the basil at its freshest aromatic peak.
