Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pizza dough room temperature
  • ½ cup pizza sauce zesty tomato base
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices cup and char style
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons hot honey chili-infused
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Equipment

  • 1 pizza stone For crispy crust
  • 1 Pizza Cutter For even slices

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F and roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  2. Spread pizza sauce over the dough and top with shredded mozzarella and pepperoni rounds.
  3. Drop small spoonfuls of ricotta cheese across the surface to create creamy pockets of flavor.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheeses are bubbling and slightly charred.
  5. Drizzle with hot honey and garnish with fresh herbs immediately before slicing and serving.

Notes

Preheat your oven and baking tray thoroughly for a crispier crust. Use whole milk ricotta for the creamiest texture that won't dry out in the oven.
