- 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1–2 tablespoons hot honey (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness.
- Place the rolled dough onto a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Brush the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
- Evenly spread the ricotta cheese over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the ricotta layer.
- Arrange the sliced pepperoni evenly atop the cheeses.
- Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like extra heat.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle hot honey over the top to add a sweet kick.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
- Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.
