Ingredients

For 4 Person(s)

What you will need:

1 lb. Talluto's Pizza Dough
8 oz. Talluto's Impastata Ricotta cheese
4 Tbsp Milk or cream
8 oz. Fontina or Fresh Mozzarella cheesecheese, hand sliced
12 oz. package Blackberries
4 oz. Extra-virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Fresh Basil leaves
2 tsp flakey Kosher Salt
4 oz. Parmigiano or Romano cheese, freshly grated
1 container local honey

Blackberry Ricotta & Basil Pizza Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
  2. Line a pizza or sheet pan with parchment paper.
  3. Lightly brush the parchment paper with olive oil. 
  4. Using your hands, stretch the pizza dough out into a thin sheet on the pan. Work from the center to the outside crust, leaving a bit of an edge around the perimeter of the sheet.
  5. Once the dough is stretched, drizzle the top with a bit more olive oil.
  6. Place the pan into the preheated 500-degree oven on the middle rack to par-cook the dough before topping. 
  7. In about 4-6 minutes, the pizza dough will begin to cook slightly and set. Remove the crust from the oven before it begins to brown.  
  8. Mix the ricotta cheese with the milk or cream until well blended.
  9. Spread the ricotta onto the par-cooked pizza crust.
  10. Top the pizza with slices of the fontina cheese.
  11. Top the pizza with blackberries and grated Parmigiano or pecorino cheese.
  12. Place the assembled pizza back in the hot oven directly on the middle rack.
  13. Bake the pizza for an additional 6-8 minutes to allow the crust and the cheese to brown. Rotate the pizza halfway through the cooking time.
  14. Remove the pizza from the oven when it is cooked to your liking.
  15. Drizzle the top of the pizza with the fresh basil, honey, and a sprinkle of salt.
  16. Allow the pizza to set for a minute or two before cutting.
  17. Enjoy!

Notes

You can top the pizza with thinly sliced prosciutto or speck for a little added saltiness. Delicious!
