White Pizza with Jalapeños and Ricotta

Ingredients:

For the White Sauce:

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated

- 1/2 tsp black pepper

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- Salt to taste (about 1/2 tsp)

- Water as needed (about 1 cup)

For the Pizza:

- Happie organic sprouted spelt crust (store-bought or homemade)

- Organic extra virgin olive oil

- Fresh whole milk mozzarella, cubed

- Pickled jalapeños, sliced

- Ricotta cheese

Directions:

1. Prepare the White Sauce:

   - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and minced garlic. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

   - Stir in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano and pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

   - Season with salt to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Preheat the Oven:

   - Preheat your oven according to the instructions for your sprouted spelt crust. If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

   - Place the prepared crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

   - Brush a thin layer of organic extra virgin olive oil over the crust to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.

   - Spread a generous amount of the white sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

   - Evenly distribute the cubed fresh mozzarella over the sauce.

   - Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese across the pizza for creaminess.

   - Scatter the sliced pickled jalapeños on top of the cheese.

4. Bake the Pizza:

   - Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone).

   - Bake according to the crust instructions, typically about 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. 

5. Finishing Touches:

   - Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a couple of minutes.

   - Optionally, drizzle a little more organic extra virgin olive oil on top for added flavor.

   - Slice and serve your delicious white pizza!

Enjoy!

This white pizza combines the creaminess of the white sauce and ricotta with the kick of jalapeños, all on a flavorful spelt crust. Perfect for a cozy night in!
