Hot Honey Drizzled Pizza
Take your homemade or takeout pizza to the next level with a generous drizzle of our Hot Honey. The combination of sweet heat with melty cheese and crispy crust is absolutely addictive.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup pepperoni slices (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons Hack n Sons Hot Honey
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
- Red pepper flakes, for extra heat (optional)
- Olive oil, for brushing
Time
Instructions
Preheat your oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Prepare the dough
Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza pan or parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the edges with olive oil.
Add toppings
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add pepperoni if using.
Bake
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly and starting to brown in spots.
The Hot Honey magic
Remove from oven and immediately drizzle generously with Hot Honey while the pizza is still hot. The heat will help the honey flow and meld with the cheese.
Serve
Top with fresh basil leaves and extra red pepper flakes if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
