Brooklyn Brokavore

Tonight’s pizza recipe:  white pizza

• Mix a cup and a half or so of ricotta cheese with truffle oil, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, dried parsley and basil, and garlic powder (yeah, I could have minced a clove or two, but I was feeling lazy)
• After rolling out the dough on fine ground corn meal, drizzle it with olive oil, then spoon on the ricotta mixture, evenly distributing it.  (Read here for more pizza instructions).
• Add mozzarella and parmesan cheese
• Then chopped portobello mushroom, rosemary, and jalapeno
• Bake.

It turned out awesome.  Mixing spices and oil into the ricotta is key: otherwise, it will turn out extremely bland.

We also made a more normal pizza tonight, with sauteed spinach, cherry peppers, and yellow tomato slices:
