Ricotta and bell peppers pizza



The savory pie with ricotta and peppers is a rustic pizza really simple and very tasty, one of those recipes that are good for any occasion, whether it is a quick dinner, a lunch by the sea or in the countryside and so on. It is a "convenient" recipe, as I define it, in the sense that it can also be prepared in advance and then heated just before being consumed. Indeed, I will tell you more, with a little rest, this savory pepper pie will become even better! You can prepare it in a vegetarian version or, to make it tastier, you can add diced bacon, speck or cooked prosciutto to the filling, but, in any case, both versions (with or without cold cuts) are delicious! Well, now let's move on to the recipe and see together how to prepare this delicious rustic pizza with bell peppers and ricotta! 

The ricotta and peppers pizza is a simple pizza to make and I assure you excellent at least for those like me who love peppers cooked in any way. Excellent idea also to recycle leftover peppers, I prepared it using pizza dough, but we can also use puff pastry. The savory pie with peppers and ricotta is a simple and very tasty dish, perfect to be consumed as an appetizer, for a buffet with friends, but also for a dinner, as a vegetarian main course: It is excellent both hot and cold. In my recipe I softened the peppers in a pan before adding them to the mix of ricotta, egg and parmesan. Everything will be poured on a base of puff pastry and enriched with cherry tomatoes, to make the savory pie fresher and tastier. Well, now let's move on to the recipe and see together how to prepare this delicious rustic pizza with bell peppers and ricotta! 

Ingredients 

1 dough roll (round format)
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 onion
200 g ricotta
1egg
100 g soft mozzarella cheese 
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese 
100 g diced sweet bacon
basil
Pepper
salt
extra virgin olive oil
breadcrumbs

Preparation 

Preparing this pizza is very simple. Let's see the procedure together.
First of all, you need to prepare peppers. Wash them, remove the green stem and the internal seeds and cut them into strips or pieces of more or less the same size. Put them in a pan with a drizzle of oil, the onion cut into thin slices, salt, pepper and a few basil leaves. Also put 2-3 tablespoons of water, close with the lid and cook over low heat for about ten minutes, until the peppers are perfectly cooked. Let them cool. When they are completely cold, put them in a bowl and prepare the filling by adding the ricotta, grated parmesan, egg, mozzarella cheese and bacon (if you want to add it). Season with salt and pepper and mix all the ingredients to mix them together. Roll out a roll of dough in a pizza tin of 24-26 cm in diameter, pour the filling, level it with a spoon and close the edges of the pastry on the filling. Sprinkle the surface with a little grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs and drizzle with a little oil. Bake at 180°C for about 25-30 minutes. Let cool, cut and serve warm your savory pie with ricotta and bell peppers.
