Hot Honey Pepperoni Ricotta Pizza
This next level hot honey pizza is savory with a hint of sweetness. Loaded with pepperoni, dolloped with basil ricotta cheese, and drizzled with hot honey. This pizza is addicting!
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- ¾ cup marinara sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese or a mix with provolone cheese
- 15 pepperoni slices
- ⅓ cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped, more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 550°F or the highest temperature your oven can go.
- Dust the pizza dough with a little flour and stretch into a 14 inch circle with a 1 inch crust slightly thicker. If using a pizza steel/stone, place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper placed on a pizza peel or upside-down baking sheet. You can also dust a pizza peel with cornmeal instead of using parchment paper. If you're not using a pizza steel/stone, dust a baking sheet with flour or cornmeal and place the dough directly onto the baking pan.
- Spread marinara sauce on the pizza, leaving 1 inch around the sides for the crust.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and pepperoni on top.
- In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with fresh basil and dollop teaspoons full on the pizza.
- Bake the pizza for 10 minutes or until the cheese is lightly browned and crust is golden. If using a pizza steel/stone, remove the parchment paper 2 minutes into cooking. Rotate the pizza halfway into baking to cook evenly.
- Garnish with fresh basil and drizzle with hot honey.
