- Why does the dough puff up so much?
- Since there is no heavy sauce on it, the dough rises more easily. If it bothers you, prick it with a fork before baking.
- What kind of rosemary should I use?
- Fresh! Dried rosemary remains hard and burns easily in the oven.
Classic Pizza Bianca (White Pizza)
Pizza Bianca is a pure celebration of dough and herbs. Since there is no tomato sauce to hide imperfections, every ingredient must be perfect. This rustic, Roman-rooted dish relies on the harmony of garlic, rosemary, and quality olive oil, embraced by creamy cheeses.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Tip: A hot oven is the secret to a crispy bottom.
2
✓
Crush the garlic and mix it with the olive oil.
Tip: Let it sit for a bit so the oil absorbs the flavor (aroma extraction).
3
✓
Roll out the dough and brush it thoroughly with the garlic oil.
Tip: This replaces tomato sauce, adding flavor and protecting the dough from drying out.
4
✓
Scatter the torn mozzarella on top and dot with ricotta.
Tip: Drain the mozzarella beforehand so it doesn't make the dough soggy.
5
✓
Sprinkle with chopped rosemary and grated Parmesan.
Tip: The essential oils in the rosemary will permeate the entire pizza due to the heat.
6
✓
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: Watch the edges; white pizza can brown faster.
7
✓
After baking, sprinkle with fresh basil.
Tip: Always add fresh herbs at the end to preserve their color and fresh taste.
