Learn how to make delicious Broccoli Ricotta White Pizza. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering fresh and quality ingredients is key to crafting the perfect pizza. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

If you’re out of ricotta, a creamy cottage cheese can be a delightful substitute, maintaining the creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the crispy crust.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
  2. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy transfer to the oven.
  4. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and the sautéed garlic.
  5. Arrange the broccoli florets over the ricotta layer. I like to blanch them briefly for a brighter color and tender bite, but you can use raw florets if you prefer a crunchier texture.
  6. Top with shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes if using.
  7. Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
