Preparation Steps
1
Measure out the ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, and water. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and let it rest for 5 minutes.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, then add the olive oil and the proofed yeast mixture. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
3
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thickness.
5
Peel and finely chop the garlic. Combine the ricotta, garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl.
6
Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza dough, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
7
Thinly slice the spring onions into rounds and scatter them evenly over the pizza.
8
Place the pizza on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, slice, and serve immediately.
