Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ball of pizza dough (12 to 14 ounces, room temp for 60 minutes)
- 1 cup shredded low moisture mozzarella
- 6 to 10 slices pepperoni
- 1 to 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup pizza sauce or crushed tomatoes (lightly seasoned)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons hot honey (warmed until pourable)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Optional: a pinch of crushed red pepper, pickled jalapeños, or thin sliced red onion
- Flour or fine semolina (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 500°F with a baking steel or stone on the center rack. Preheat for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Prep the dough. Let it relax until soft and stretchy. Dust your counter with flour or semolina.
- Shape the dough by pressing from the center outward, then lift and rotate to stretch to about 12 inches.
- Spread a thin spoonful of sauce, add mozzarella, then pepperoni, and finish with Parmesan.
- Slide the pizza onto the hot steel or pan and bake for 7 to 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and edges are golden.
- Drizzle hot honey immediately after baking and add any extra toppings like crushed red pepper or jalapeños.
- Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
Drizzle hot honey only after baking for the best flavor and texture. Use low moisture mozzarella for optimal results.
