Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza with Ricotta: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 12 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness.
  3. Place the rolled dough onto a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
  4. Brush the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
  5. Evenly spread the ricotta cheese over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the ricotta layer.
  7. Arrange the sliced pepperoni evenly atop the cheeses.
  8. Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like extra heat.
  9. 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.
  10. Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle hot honey over the top to add a sweet kick.
  11. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
  12. Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.
