I remember the first time I tried rhubarb. It was at my grandma's. She had this huge rhubarb patch in her garden, and she was always trying to find new ways to use it. Rhubarb crumble was her go-to, but one day, she surprised us all with rhubarb jam on toast. It was unexpected, a little bit tart, but incredibly satisfying. That’s kinda how I feel about this rhubarb pizza bread – unexpected, surprisingly delightful, and just a little bit addicting. So, what does this mean for you? It means ditching the predictable and diving headfirst into a flavor adventure!
This recipe isn't just about throwing some rhubarb on pizza dough. It's about creating a balance of flavors. The sweetness of the dough (we're adding just a touch more sugar than usual) plays against the tartness of the rhubarb. The creamy ricotta cheese adds a layer of richness, and the thyme provides a subtle, earthy counterpoint. Trust me, this isn't your average pizza. In fact, it’s probably the furthest thing from a peporoni pizza you can get. Speaking of flavor, don't forget a pinch of salt. This enhance the flavors of all ingredients.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, let’s get that oven preheating! Crank it up to 425°F (220°C). We want it nice and hot so the pizza bread gets a beautiful golden crust. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper – this will prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Now, for the dough. If you're using store-bought dough (no judgement here!), gently stretch it out on a lightly floured surface to about a 12-inch circle or rectangle. If you’re feeling ambitious and making your own, follow your favorite pizza dough recipe. Remember, the dough should be slightly sweeter than usual, so add an extra teaspoon of sugar to the mix.
- Time for the ricotta! In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. This seasoned ricotta will be the creamy base for our rhubarb. Spread it evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border for the crust.
- Rhubarb time! Wash and trim the rhubarb stalks. Cut them into thin, 1/4-inch slices. This ensures they’ll cook evenly and become tender in the oven. Arrange the rhubarb slices artfully over the ricotta cheese. Don’t overcrowd them – we want each slice to get a little caramelized goodness.
- Drizzle a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup over the rhubarb. This adds a touch of extra sweetness and helps the rhubarb to caramelize beautifully. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the pizza. The thyme adds a lovely aromatic and earthy note that complements the rhubarb perfectly. Make sure you don’t over do it with the thyme as it can over power the delicatness of the rhubarb.
- Carefully transfer the pizza bread to the prepared baking sheet. Slide it into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender. Keep a close eye on it – ovens can vary, and you don’t want the crust to burn.
- Once the pizza bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly on the baking sheet. This will allow the flavors to meld together a bit. Before serving, sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar over the pizza (optional, but highly recommended!). Cut into slices and serve warm. Enjoy this sweet and savory spring delight!
📝 Notes
- Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as goat cheese or mascarpone.
- Add a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
- If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme, but use half the amount.
- For a vegan version, use vegan pizza dough and a plant-based ricotta cheese alternative.
