Ingredients
  

For the Pizza Base
  • 1 piece Pizza Dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1/4 cup Flour or Cornmeal for dusting the work surface
For the Sauce & Cheeses
  • 1 cup Tomato Sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese could substitute with provolone
  • 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese dollop rather than spreading
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Pepperoni or turkey/vegetarian alternatives
  • 1/4 cup Hot Honey try mixing with chili flakes for a homemade version
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Basil optional
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional for extra heat

Equipment

  • Oven
  • pizza stone
  • Baking sheet
  • floured peel

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for at least 30 minutes. Dust your work surface with flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking, then roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round.
  2. Transfer the rolled dough onto a floured peel or parchment paper. Spread a generous layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly, then arrange pepperoni slices on top. Dollop ricotta cheese around the pizza.
  3. Carefully slide the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 8-12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  4. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Drizzle hot honey on top, and sprinkle with fresh basil and red pepper flakes if desired before slicing.
