Ingredients

  • 16 oz pizza dough
  • 2 tbsp cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 count bagged Caesar salad kit
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 475°F with a sheet pan inside.
  2. Stir the minced garlic into the oil. Stretch the dough on cornmeal-dusted parchment and brush with the garlic oil.
  3. Mix the ricotta, Parmesan, oregano, salt and pepper. Scatter the mozzarella over the dough, then dollop the ricotta mix on top.
  4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  5. Slice and serve with the Caesar salad.
  6. Picky eater tip: give them a slice with just mozzarella and plain crust, and keep the salad plain on the side.
  7. Make ahead: mix the garlic oil and the ricotta mix up to 2 days ahead and keep them covered in the fridge.

On the side: Fresh fruit (2 min)

1 lb fruit (grapes or apples)

  1. Wash and slice the fruit and put it on the table.
