Ricotta Cheese
Pepperoni Pizza

This is a recipe I made using creamy
ricotta cheese as a sauce for a pizza.
Topped with fresh vegetables and
some sliced pepperoni, it's a good one.
The cheese sets up like a casserole on
top of a crispy yet chewy pizza crust.

Ingredients:
1 pizza dough
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 large eggs, whites only
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
20 slices pepperoni
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
corn meal

Directions:
Move one oven grat to top position,
another in the lowest position of oven.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl combine ricotta cheese,
egg whites,oregano, salt, and all vegetables.
Roll out pizza dough to desired size.
Dust baking sheet with corn meal.
Place dough in baking pan.
Top with ricotta cheese mixture.
Arrange pepperoni slices on top.
Sprinkle with some more oregano.
Bake for about 15 minutes
until bottom of crust is brown.
Remove pizza from oven and turn on broiler.
Cover edge of crust with aluminum foil.
Place pizza on top oven grate and broil
until top is set well and pizza done.
Remove, slice and serve.
