This easy-to-make recipe combines a crispy crust with rich cheeses, aromatic basil, and a sweet-spicy kick, making it an irresistible treat for pizza lovers.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12 inches in diameter)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

Cheeses

  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Toppings

  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Drizzle

  • 3 tablespoons hot honey (store-bought or homemade by mixing honey with 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and if using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel if using a stone.
  2. Add Olive Oil: Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to create a moisture barrier and promote a golden crust.
  3. Layer Cheese: Evenly distribute the fresh mozzarella slices over the dough, leaving about an inch border around the edges for the crust. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top to add depth and nuttiness.
  4. Bake the Pizza: Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Add Prosciutto and Basil: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately layer the thin slices of prosciutto on top. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the pizza for a pop of color and aroma.
  6. Drizzle Hot Honey: Generously drizzle the hot honey over the entire pizza, allowing the sweet and spicy flavors to complement the savory ingredients perfectly.
  7. Serve: Slice the pizza and serve immediately for a warm, flavorful experience that’s sure to delight.

Notes

  • For homemade hot honey, gently warm 1/4 cup honey and stir in 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes; let it infuse for 30 minutes and strain if desired.
  • Use a pizza stone for a crisper crust if available.
  • Fresh mozzarella has a lot of moisture; patting it dry with a paper towel can help prevent sogginess.
  • You can substitute prosciutto with thinly sliced ham or pancetta for variation.
  • Serve immediately after adding hot honey to enjoy the perfect balance of warm and cool flavors.
