Follow these simple steps to create your Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza with Ricotta:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
2. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out your pre-made pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape.
3. Prepare the Pizza Base: Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
6. Layer Pepperoni: Arrange the sliced pepperoni evenly across the cheese layer.
7. Dollop Ricotta: Use a spoon to dollop the ricotta cheese across the pizza, spacing it out for even distribution.
8. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the olive oil over the pizza for added flavor.
9. Bake the Pizza: Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Add Hot Honey: Once out of the oven, drizzle the hot honey over the pizza, adjusting the amount to your heat preference.
11. Sprinkle Red Pepper Flakes: If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
12. Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
