Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Cheeses

  • 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Seasonings and Toppings

  • 1–2 tablespoons hot honey (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (for extra heat, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust and even baking.
  2. Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pre-made pizza dough to your preferred thickness, creating the base for your pizza.
  3. Add Olive Oil: Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet and brush the surface evenly with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sticking during baking.
  4. Spread Ricotta: Evenly spoon the fresh ricotta cheese over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to form the crust.
  5. Sprinkle Mozzarella: Generously cover the ricotta layer with shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring a delicious, melty topping.
  6. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the cheese to add depth and seasoning.
  7. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted perfectly.
  8. Finish with Hot Honey: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle hot honey over it while still hot, adding a sweet and spicy finish.
  9. Garnish: Add fresh basil leaves and, if desired, sprinkle optional crushed red pepper flakes for an extra touch of heat and freshness before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality ricotta and herbs for the best flavor.
  • Try adding roasted vegetables or cooked meats to customize the pizza further.
  • Preheat the oven fully to achieve a crispy, golden crust.
  • This pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for optimal texture and taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
  • You can freeze the uncooked assembled pizza; bake it from frozen with extra cooking time.
