Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 lb pizza dough

Cheese Layer

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella

Toppings

  • 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 2 tbsp hot honey
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside to heat evenly, which helps achieve a crispy crust.
  2. Roll Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough until it forms a 12-inch wide circle, ensuring an even thickness for consistent cooking.
  3. Spread Ricotta: Evenly spread 1 cup of ricotta cheese over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to form the crust.
  4. Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded fresh mozzarella evenly over the ricotta layer to add a gooey, melty texture.
  5. Layer Prosciutto: Arrange thin slices of 4 oz prosciutto on top of the cheese layer, distributing it evenly for a balanced flavor in each bite.
  6. Bake Pizza: Carefully transfer the prepared pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle 2 tablespoons of hot honey evenly over the top, garnish with fresh ¼ cup basil leaves, slice into eight pieces, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure your pizza stone is preheated for at least 30 minutes to get a crispy crust.
  • You can substitute hot honey with chili-infused olive oil for a different type of heat and flavor.
  • If you don’t have a pizza stone, use a preheated baking sheet or pizza pan to bake the pizza.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the prosciutto and add grilled vegetables or mushrooms instead.
  • Allow pizza to cool for a minute or two before slicing to prevent cheese from sliding off.
