White pizza is an elegant alternative to traditional tomato-based pizza. Make your own pizza dough or simply buy pre-made, and top it with ricotta, garlic, mozzarella, and fresh herbs. Brush the dough with olive oil, then spread a ricotta-garlic mixture with chopped parsley, then top with grated mozzarella. Bake on a preheated pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet for a crispy crust. Top the finished pizza with basil or fresh salsa and enjoy.
