Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for White Pizza
  1. Preheat your oven to a sizzling 500°F (260°C), placing a pizza stone inside. Allow it to heat for at least 40-45 minutes.
  2. Prepare a fragrant garlic oil by combining freshly grated garlic cloves with olive oil in a small bowl. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Grate your cheeses using a box grater. Aim for approximately 2 to 3 cups of shredded cheese for a deliciously gooey texture.
  4. Stretch the pizza dough into an 11-12 inch circle and transfer it to a pizza peel or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Apply the garlic oil to the crust, sprinkle red pepper flakes, layer shredded cheese, and add dollops of ricotta.
  6. Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, watching as the crust turns golden brown and the cheese bubbles.
  7. Garnish with fresh arugula, extra parmesan, flaky sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper.
