Friday night was usually pizza night in my house growing up. This was especially the case during Lent, since pizza was such an easy meatless option that could feed our big family.
So, it’s only fitting that I’m sharing this new white pizza with broccoli recipe on a Friday in Lent. Of course, this pizza is a delicious meal for just about anyone, not just those who abstain from eating meat.
Homemade White Pizza With Homemade Dough
Every slice is loaded with flavor and texture. Crunchy broccoli and creamy ricotta, punctuated with red pepper flakes, garlic, and lemon zest, sit on top of a crispy crust. Are you drooling yet?
Ok ok, I’ll get to the recipe now. Be sure to read through the expert tips to learn how to make homemade broccoli pizza that tastes just as good as restaurant versions.
For best results, cook broccoli before using it as a pizza topping. Raw broccoli can be too tough and difficult to chew. Use steamed or roasted broccoli instead.

To steam broccoli for pizza, place florets in a large skillet, cover with a couple inches of water, bring to a boil, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
Alternatively, you can use a vegetable steamer basket if you have one. Place the steamer basket with the broccoli florets in a large pot with two inches of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.

Mushroom Pizza With Fresh Herbs
Making food for others is my way of saying “I care about you, ” “I’m glad you are in my life, ” and, most importantly, “Thanks for putting up with me.”
With gooey, soul-comforting cheese, an array of flavorful toppings, and a crust that’s soft, crisp, and chewy all at the same time, pan pizza is a food for every occasion, every person, and, importantly, every appetite.
Today’s ricotta pizza with spinach, basil, sun-dried tomatoes, and melty mozzarella is toes the line between fresh (hi, spinach!) and decadent (so much ricotta).
Vegan White Pizza W/ Roasted Tomatoes & Basil
If you’ve only ever had ricotta in Vegetable Lasagna, you may be wondering if ricotta is good on pizza and what does ricotta pizza tastes like.
Ricotta is mild, creamy, and holds its shape when heated, making it perfect for dolloping over pizza crust (for a gooey, melty cheese pizza, try Burrata Pizza).
Ricotta is versatile and pairs well with a wide range of Italian ingredients, especially garlic, herbs, tomatoes, and olive oil, all of which we are using here.

If you would like to make a gluten free ricotta pizza, you may follow this recipe using your favorite store-bought or homemade gluten free pizza crust recipe. For a keto or low-carb option, try this Broccoli Pizza Crust.
Other sauteed dark leafy greens may be substituted for the spinach. Try this white ricotta pizza with kale or Swiss chard as alternatives.
Add other fresh herbs to this pizza that you have on hand or growing in your herb garden. Fresh oregano, parsley, dill, chives, or thyme would all be lovely additions.
The Best Pizza Bianca (white Pizza)
When baking pizza at home, preparing your oven is key for best results. Here are my top oven tips for homemade pizza.
While shaping, if the dough stretches back on you, let it rest for several minutes, then try again (you can’t rush stubborn dough).
No. Unlike other cheeses that melt into string pools of melty cheese, ricotta does not melt when cooked in the oven. Instead, it becomes ultra-soft and creamy while still retaining its overall shape.

While ricotta can technically be put on pizza before or after baking, if you want the ricotta to be warm and creamy, it is best to add it to pizza before baking.
If you have die-hard carnivores in your house who demand meat on their pizza, you could certainly add some if you’d like. I’d suggest some thin slices of cooked Grilled Chicken Breast or pieces of cooked Italian sausage.
Is ricotta good on pizza? The answer is yes, and this Italian ricotta pizza with spinach, basil, mozzarella, and sun-dried tomatoes is proof.

WELCOME!We’ve recently discovered a sort of hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant near us that servesreally, really darn goodpizzas. In particular, they make a white pizza that’s kind of to die for. It’s apparently New York style (I have never been to New York, sadly, so I cannot confirm or deny this).It’s simply made, with a chewy thick crust, dollops of herby (and mysteriously slightly sweet) ricotta cheese, and a melty smattering of mozzarella. I’ve started having them add spinach which makes it even better.

I’m into making white pizza at home (and I’m a little obsessed with white-pizza-inspired foods, too) – so naturally, I needed to go there. I decided some (or okay, a lot of) roasted garlic shouldto make an appearance along with all that other cheesy goodness (and, of course, the spinach too!)
