Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). This will ensure a crispy crust.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top.

  4. 4

    Add Meatballs

    Place the sliced meatballs evenly over the cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Drizzle a little olive oil over the pizza for flavor. Season with salt and black pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Add Ricotta and Garnish

    Once out of the oven, spoon small dollops of ricotta cheese on top of the hot pizza. Garnish with fresh chopped basil.

  7. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
