Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to a sizzling 500°F (260°C). Time to get that pizza dough ready to shine!

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s nice and round. Aim for a 12-inch diameter—big enough to hold all the goodness!

Step 3: Mix the Ricotta

In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with 1 tablespoon of honey, olive oil, and salt until it’s creamy and dreamy.

Step 4: Spread the Ricotta Mixture

Spread the ricotta mixture over the pizza dough, leaving a little border for that classic pizza crust feel.

Step 5: Add Toppings

Scatter the fresh blackberries and sliced almonds evenly over the ricotta.

Step 6: Bake the Pizza

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the toppings are bubbly with joy!

Step 7: Final Touches

Once out of the oven, drizzle with the remaining honey and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves for that aromatic finish.

Notes
