1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Fresh Basil Leaves
All-Purpose Flour or Semolina
1/2 cup Honey
1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Hot Honey: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Heat gently over low heat for about 5 minutes
  2. Preheat Oven and Pizza Stone/Steel: Place your pizza stone or steel in your oven and preheat to its highest setting for at least 45-60 minutes
  3. Prepare Your Dough: On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to about 12-14 inches in diameter
  4. Assemble the Pizza: Transfer dough to parchment paper or a pizza peel. Brush the edges with olive oil and spoon the tomato sauce over the dough
  5. Add Toppings: Distribute fresh mozzarella and pepperoni over the sauce
  6. Bake the Pizza: Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or steel and bake for 8-12 minutes
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, drizzle with hot honey, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve

Notes

Dough temperature is key; work with room-temperature dough.

Keep toppings moderate to avoid sogginess.

High heat ensures a crispy crust.
