Ingredients
Scale
1 lb Pre-made Pizza Dough
2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour or Cornmeal
½ cup Marinara Sauce
½ cup Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
4 oz Sliced Pepperoni
2-3 tbsp Hot Honey
¼ cup Fresh Basil Leaves

Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Dust your work surface with flour or cornmeal and stretch or roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness
- Brush the edges of your dough lightly with olive oil, then spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a ½-inch border
- Distribute mozzarella cheese over the sauce, dollop small spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top, and arrange the pepperoni slices across the cheese layer
- Carefully slide your pizza onto a preheated baking stone or sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is bubbling
- Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle hot honey over the entire pizza. Scatter fresh basil leaves on top and add red pepper flakes if desired
- Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serve hot
