Ingredients

Scale

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 packet active dry yeast
1 ¼ cups warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ cups whole milk
3 cloves garlic
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese

Instructions

Prepare the dough by activating the yeast in warm water and mixing it with flour and salt until a smooth dough forms. Knead for about 8–10 minutes.
Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl for about 1 to 1½ hours.
Make the white sauce by melting butter, stirring in flour, then gradually whisking in warm milk and adding garlic, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Roll out the risen dough to about a 12–14 inch round shape. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Spread the white sauce on the dough, top with mozzarella and ricotta, then bake for approximately 12–14 minutes until golden brown.
