Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (245g) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 tbsp (21g) honey
  • ½ tsp (3g) fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 lb (450g) pizza dough
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blackberries, halved lengthwise
  • ¼ cup (10g) fresh basil leaves, torn by hand
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) balsamic glaze
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir with a spatula until smooth and let sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a greased baking sheet to approximately ¼ inch thickness.
  3. Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil and spread the seasoned ricotta evenly across the surface, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Gently press the halved blackberries into the ricotta layer.
  5. Bake for 8–12 minutes until the crust is mahogany-colored and the cheese is bubbling. Optionally broil for the final 60 seconds for extra crispness.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with torn basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
