Ingredients:

• 1 lb. pizza dough, divided in half
• Vegetable oil, for brushing
• Coarse cornmeal, for sprinkling
• 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil

Instruction:

1. Preheat oven to 500°. Brush two large baking sheets with vegetable oil and sprinkle each with a layer of cornmeal.

3. In a small bowl, mix together ricotta, salt, pepper, and half the herbs.
4. On a lightly floured surface, shape each half of pizza dough into a round ball, then press down the center of each to create a 1/2″ crust.
