Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, pour the lukewarm water, crumble in the yeast, and let it rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
2
Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Knead until you get a smooth dough, about 10 minutes.
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), and place a pizza stone inside, if you have one.
5
Divide the dough into two portions and shape them into round pizzas. You can use a rolling pin or your hands to shape them.
6
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, grated lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
7
Evenly spread the ricotta mixture over the pizza doughs, then sprinkle with torn mozzarella.
8
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, then place the pizzas in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
9
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the fresh and citrusy flavors!
