# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Your kitchen will smell like a bakery and a garden all at once.
  • If you love treats that look fancy but take less than 15 minutes, this is the one.
02 -
  • If the bread is sliced too thin, it won’t hold up to the toppings and might turn limp fast.
  • Letting the ricotta come to room temperature first makes it spread dreamily—it changed everything for me.
03 -
  • Avoid watery ricotta by draining it overnight in the fridge if you have time—it truly elevates the creaminess.
  • A subtle dusting of black pepper on top takes the flavors from lovely to memorable.
