Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (14-16 inch) pizza crust
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 small package of blackberries, halved
- 10 large basil leaves
Secondary Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Note: Ingredients are listed with both standard measurements.
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a scorching 500°F, positioning a pizza stone to create an ultra-crisp foundation for the artisan pizza.
- Massage olive oil across the pizza crust, ensuring a silky, golden canvas that will crisp beautifully during baking.
- Crush half of the blackberries into a vibrant, jammy spread, coating the crust with their intense, sweet essence.
- Generously distribute mozzarella and parmesan cheese, creating a molten blanket that will anchor the upcoming ingredients.
- Artfully disperse the remaining halved blackberries across the cheesy landscape, then dollop ricotta in random, cloud-like pockets.
- Transfer the pizza onto the preheated stone, allowing it to transform in the intense heat for 10-15 minutes until the cheese caramelizes and bubbles.
- During the final moments of baking, delicately sprinkle freshly sliced basil leaves, which will gently wilt and release their aromatic oils.
- Extract the pizza from the oven, slice into eight rustic wedges, and surrender to the harmonious blend of tangy, sweet, and herbaceous flavors.
Notes
- Blackberries bring surprising bursts of juicy complexity, while basil adds a fresh herbal whisper to the creamy ricotta landscape.
- Perfectly balancing textures and flavors, this gourmet pizza transforms simple ingredients into a culinary adventure that surprises and delights.
