Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Pizza with Ricotta, Mozzarella
- In a small bowl, combine warm water with sugar and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5–10 minutes.

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.

- Flour your work surface and knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

- Shape the dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

- In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, lemon zest, and juice. Mix well and set aside.

- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside.

- Once risen, punch the dough down and roll it out into a 12-inch round on a floured surface.

- Spread the cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle fresh thyme on top.

- Carefully slide the topped pizza onto the heated pizza stone. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

- Remove from the oven, drizzle with olive oil and honey, and add red pepper flakes if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.

- Slice and serve warm, enjoying the combination of creamy cheese, zesty lemon, and fresh herbs.
