Ricotta Pizza
Ricotta pizza is basically an Italian pizza in which we put some sauce over a crispy layer of bread and topped with some veggies or ricotta cheese with some fresh basil leaves. Ricotta is nothing fancy. It is made with cluttered milk and we know this cheese. Ricotta is most similar to cottage cheese which is widely used in Indian cuisine.

Making pizza is much simpler than any simple dish on a regular basis. You can adjust the flavor combo as per your choice. In this ricotta pizza you do not need any other cheese like processed cheese or mozzarella. But if you like then you can add these.
