Creating Savory Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or according to your pizza dough instructions.
2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
5. Add Pepperoni: Layer the sliced pepperoni evenly on top of the cheese.
6. Season: Drizzle olive oil over the pizza and sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes, if using.
7. 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.
8. Drizzle Honey: Once the pizza is out of the oven, immediately drizzle the hot honey over the top. Adjust the amount based on your desired spice level.
9. Garnish: Optionally, add fresh basil leaves for an added flavor boost.
10. Slice and Serve: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy!
