Squash Blossom Pizza

This Squash Blossom Pizza is an easy and delicious white pizza recipe to enjoy during the summertime. It uses a store-bought pizza dough and just requires 20 minutes to make. But if you feel more ambitious to make your own pizza dough, then try this simple 1-Hour Pizza Dough. It’s my go-to recipe and takes only one hour (hence the name) to make and rise.

While most squash blossom recipes are somewhat fussy and involve stuffing and deep-frying, this one is a breeze to make once you have the dough ready. And the best part? This white pizza recipe features a simple yet flavorful ricotta garlic base, Pecorino Romano, and squash blossoms. It is flavored with basil, honey, and of course, freshly ground black pepper. This beautiful summer pizza is perfect for lunch or even as a light dinner with a green salad on the side. Enjoy!
