This pizza balances sweet heat, savory beef, and melty cheese, offering a gourmet taste with a quick preparation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pizza dough
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 cup cooked ground beef
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then scatter the sliced pepperoni and cooked ground beef across the cheese.
- Drizzle the hot honey over the toppings in an even stream.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and dollop the ricotta over the hot pizza.
- Drizzle olive oil on top and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
For a crisper crust, preheat your pizza stone. Store leftovers wrapped tightly to keep them fresh.
