Pizza Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it's hot enough for a crispy pizza crust.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread the San Marzano tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Add Pepperoni

    Scatter the hand-cut pepperoni slices over the cheese, ensuring even coverage.

  5. 5

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle olive oil over the top for added flavor and to help the crust brown.

  6. 6

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

  7. 7

    Add Hot Honey

    Once out of the oven, drizzle hot honey over the pizza to taste for a sweet and spicy finish.

  8. 8

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Slice the pizza and serve hot.
