Savory Hot Honey Pepperoni and Ricotta Pizza Delight: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 19 minute

Ingredients

– 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 6 oz pepperoni slices
– 1/4 cup hot honey (adjust to taste)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)
– Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Savory Hot Honey Pepperoni and Ricotta Pizza Delight:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
2. Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness.
3. Shape Pizza: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer to the oven.
4. Add Olive Oil: Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
5. Spread Ricotta: Spoon dollops of ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving space for the edges.
6. Sprinkle Mozzarella: Add a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the ricotta.
7. Layer Pepperoni: Place the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese, ensuring good coverage.
8. Season: Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning evenly across the toppings for extra flavor.
9. Bake Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
10. Drizzle Hot Honey: Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle hot honey over the top, adjusting to your preferred spice level.
11. Garnish: If desired, add fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes for extra flavor and presentation.
12. Cool and Slice: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.

Now, your Savory Hot Honey Pepperoni and Ricotta Pizza Delight is ready to be enjoyed!
