Make a gourmet pizza featuring creamy ricotta cheese balanced with a spicy-sweet hot honey drizzle. This recipe provides simple steps for a high-flavor result.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza dough ball (about 12 inches)
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and pizza stone or baking sheet to 475 degrees Fahrenheit (245 degrees Celsius).
  2. Stretch or roll your pizza dough to your desired thickness and place it on a lightly floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a one-inch border for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
  6. If using prosciutto, arrange the slices evenly over the cheese.
  7. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  9. Remove the pizza from the oven. Immediately drizzle the hot honey generously over the entire surface.
  10. Sprinkle with fresh basil, if using. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best crust texture, let your dough rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before stretching.
  • If you make your own hot honey, combine 1/2 cup of honey with 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and let it steep for 15 minutes before using.
  • Toasting pine nuts lightly and sprinkling them on before the honey adds a nice crunch.
