  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 slices

Ingredients

Pizza Base and Sauce

  • 1 pizza dough
  • ½ cup pizza sauce

Cheeses

  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup ricotta cheese

Toppings and Seasoning

  • 3 tbsp hot honey drizzle
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Italian seasoning to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it is sufficiently hot for a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
  2. Prepare the dough: On a floured work surface, roll out the pizza dough evenly to your desired thickness. Carefully transfer it onto a baking sheet or pizza stone for baking.
  3. Add the sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, taking care to leave a small border around the edges to form the crust.
  4. Layer the mozzarella cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly across the sauced dough to cover the pizza surface uniformly.
  5. Dot with ricotta cheese: Add small dollops of ricotta cheese spaced evenly over the mozzarella, adding creamy texture and flavor.
  6. Season: Sprinkle black pepper and Italian seasoning over the top to taste, enhancing the flavor profile.
  7. Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust turns golden brown.
  8. Add hot honey drizzle: Remove the baked pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle the hot honey evenly over the top to add a sweet and spicy finish.
  9. Cool and serve: Let the pizza cool slightly for a few minutes to set before slicing into 6 pieces and serving.

Notes

  • Add Italian seasoning directly to the pizza sauce before spreading for added depth of flavor.
  • Sprinkle fresh basil leaves or crushed red pepper flakes after baking for a fresh and spicy kick.
  • Apply the hot honey drizzle just before serving to keep its flavor vibrant and fresh.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey according to your spice tolerance to balance sweetness and heat.
  • Pre-measure all ingredients for quick and easy assembly.
  • Pizza dough and sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator to save prep time.
