Ingredients
  

Pizza Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Marinara Sauce Rich and savory, the perfect foundation for our toppings.
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded Creamy and melty; the classic cheese that makes every pizza better.
  • 4 oz Beef Pepperoni Flavor-packed slices that add a savory kick.
  • 1/4 Cup Hot Honey A unique blend of sweetness and heat that elevates the flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil For brushing on the crust for that golden-brown finish.
  • to taste Fresh Basil (Optional) A touch of herbal freshness to finish your pizza beautifully.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure an incredibly crispy crust.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until you reach your desired thickness.
  3. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet, ensuring it is evenly spread out.
  4. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously on top.
  6. Arrange the beef pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
  7. Drizzle hot honey over the toppings.
  8. Brush the crust with olive oil for a golden finish.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes for easier slicing.
Serving
  1. Optionally, top with fresh basil before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a pizza stone for the best crust; it retains heat effectively. Customize your pizza with additional toppings like vegetables or swap beef pepperoni with turkey pepperoni or a vegetarian alternative. If you prefer a softer crust, bake at a slightly lower temperature for a longer time but keep an eye on the cheese to avoid burning.
