Method

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to a sizzling 500°F (260°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside to heat for at least 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, gently shape the pizza dough into a circle, with a diameter of 10-12 inches.
Spread a quarter cup of marinara or pizza sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle three-quarters of a cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauced dough. Add pepperoni slices and dollops of ricotta cheese.
Slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking tray, and let it bake for 7-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle about two teaspoons of hot honey over it. Optionally, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes and garnish before serving.
