Method (preview)

1. 1

   Press the dough into a pizza pan then put the spread the tomatoes (they should be quite "watery" as ricotta cheese is too dry to get the right consistency for your pizza), salt and some olive oil.

2. 2

   Put in a preheated oven and cook for half the time it takes to be ready.

3. 3

   Take the pan out and spread ricotta and pepper.

4. 4

   Finish cooking.

5. 5

   If you have a special pizza oven you can spread all the ingredients before cooking, as it takes much less time to cook the pizza and the cheese doesn't get "burned".

6. 6

   The instructions for cooking are the same as for red pizza, only you start cooking the dough alone with olive oil only on it, then you add the two cheeses together.

7. 7

   If you are using a normal gas or electric oven, you should always add mozzarella half way through cooking, unless it gets too dry and "burned".
