Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone inside if available.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the surface of the dough generously with olive oil.

Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the dough.

Spread dollops of ricotta cheese across the surface of the dough.

Add slices of fresh mozzarella evenly over the top.

Grate parmesan cheese over the entire pizza for added flavor.

Sprinkle fresh rosemary and black pepper on top to taste.

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve warm and enjoy your Pizza Bianca.
