Ingredients
1 pizza dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
20 pepperoni slices
2 tablespoons hot honey
4 leaves fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel.
3. Brush the dough with olive oil. Spread tomato sauce evenly, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
4. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella and arrange pepperoni slices.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
6. Drizzle with hot honey while the pizza is hot. Garnish with fresh basil if using. Slice and serve!
Notes
To make your own hot honey, heat 1/4 cup honey with 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
Use parchment paper for easy transfer to a hot stone or baking sheet.
For extra crispy crust, bake directly on a preheated pizza stone or steel.
