Pizza Frittas with Courgette, Mint, and Ricotta

Pizza frittas are a delicious and unique way to enjoy pizza. They are made with a simple dough that is fried until golden brown and crispy. The dough is then topped with your favorite toppings and baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This recipe for pizza frittas with courgette, mint, and ricotta is a great way to use up any leftover vegetables. The courgette adds a fresh and summery flavor to the pizza, while the mint and ricotta add a touch of sophistication.

Ingredients

For the dough: * 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour * 1/2 teaspoon (2g) salt * 1/2 teaspoon (3g) active dry yeast * 1/2 cup (120ml) warm water For the toppings: * 1 medium courgette, thinly sliced * 1/4 cup (5g) fresh mint, chopped * 1/2 cup (120g) ricotta cheese * 1/4 cup (60g) grated Parmesan cheese * Salt and pepper to taste * Olive oil for greasing

Instructions

1. To make the dough, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add the warm water and stir until a dough forms. 2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. 3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. 4. While the dough is rising, prepare the toppings. Slice the courgette thinly and chop the mint. 5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. 6. Place the dough circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top each dough circle with the courgette, mint, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese. 7. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. 8. Bake the pizza frittas in a preheated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. 9. Let the pizza frittas cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips

* For a more flavorful pizza, use a sourdough starter instead of active dry yeast. * If you don't have any ricotta cheese, you can substitute cottage cheese or cream cheese. * You can add any other toppings you like to your pizza frittas, such as cooked bacon, sausage, or vegetables. * Pizza frittas can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
