Creating Sausage Ricotta Honey Hot Pizza is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
3. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring it’s evenly spread.
4. Add Olive Oil: Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil for added flavor and to help it crisp up.
5. Spread Ricotta: Spoon the ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
6. Add Sausage: Sprinkle the crumbled Italian sausage over the ricotta layer, ensuring an even distribution.
7. Top with Mozzarella: Add the shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sausage and ricotta.
8. Season: Sprinkle red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper over the cheese to taste.
9. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
