• Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly oil.

• Lightly flour a work surface, and stretch or roll the dough into a 12-inch round. Spread ricotta mixture on half the dough, leaving a half-inch border all around. Brush the edges of the dough with water and fold dough in half, over filling; pinch the edges of the dough together to seal.
