Spring Pizzas
- 1 pound pizza dough
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing and drizzling
- 6 ounces ramps or scallions, trimmed
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- Coarse sea salt
- Coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- Grated parmesan cheese, for topping
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Divide the dough into 4 pieces on a floured surface.
- Brush a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Stretch the dough into four 6-inch rounds; place on the baking sheet and bake until golden, about 12 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Toss the ramps or scallions with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with kosher salt.
- Saute until just wilted, about 1 minute.
- Transfer to a cutting board and cut into pieces.
- Mix the ricotta, lemon zest, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and some sea salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Brush the crusts with olive oil (this will protect them from getting soggy), then spread with the ricotta mixture and season with sea salt.
- Top with the ramps or scallions.
- Return to the oven until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Top the pizzas with basil, parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.
