Instructions
Creating Irresistible Hot Honey and Goat Cheese Pepperoni Pizza is simple when you follow these steps:
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. Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-14 inch circle. Make sure it’s evenly thick.
3. Transfer the Dough: Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
4. Add the Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
6. Layer the Toppings: Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices and crumbled goat cheese on top of the mozzarella.
7. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the toppings to enhance flavor and ensure a golden crust.
8. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
9. Add Hot Honey: Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle the hot honey over the top, adjusting based on your spice preference.
10. Garnish: Add fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
11. Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges, making it easier to handle.
By following these steps, you’ll create a mouthwatering pizza that combines all the amazing flavors of sweet, spicy, and savory!
