My three cheese lasagna pizza features a creamy ricotta layer plus pizza sauce, mozzarella and fontina cheese all on a light and airy grandma pizza. Add some meat if you want. As written, this is a vegetarian pizza.
1ozParmesan cheese for grating over the pizza once it is baked
Instructions
Position your oven rack on the lowest level.
Line a half-sheet pan with parchment and then spread about 1/4 cup olive oil over the parchment. Stretch out 32 oz of your favorite pizza dough (like the grandma pizza dough) to fill the pan. Scatter the minced garlic over the dough. If using the grandma dough, let the dough rise, covered in the pan for 2 hours or so before topping and baking.
At least thirty minutes before baking, preheat oven to 450F or 425F for convection.
In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the ricotta layer.
Dollop the ricotta evenly over your risen crust and gently spread with a small offset spatula. The ricotta doesn't have to completely cover the dough, but you want to get some in at least most bites of your pizza.
Sprinkle or place on an even layer of mozzarella. The cheese does not have to completely blanket the pizza.
Dollop on your pizza sauce, and then spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle or place on an even layer of fontina cheese.
Bake the pizza for 15 minutes, then rotate the pan. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes (depending on your oven). Lift up the crust with a spatula and make sure the bottom is a nice golden brown. If it isn't, bake an additional few minutes and check again. Pizza should take no more than 30 minutes to bake, but again, this depends on your oven.
Place pizza in pan on a heat-safe surface and evenly sprinkle on the second amount of Parmesan cheese.
Let pizza sit in the pan for 10 minutes, then slide it and the parchment off onto a cutting board to slice and serve.
