Ingredients
1 ball pizza dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
20 slices pepperoni
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons hot honey
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Instructions
1. Roll out your pizza dough to about 12 inches in diameter on a floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza stone.
2. Brush the top of the dough lightly with olive oil, especially around the edges.
3. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Top with pepperoni slices.
4. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and bake the pizza for 12-14 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden.
5. Remove from the oven. Sprinkle red pepper flakes, drizzle with hot honey, and scatter chopped basil over the top.
Notes
Use a pizza stone for an extra crispy crust.
Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing to avoid cheese slide.
For added heat, stir a pinch of cayenne into your honey before drizzling.
