Ingredients

Units Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 lb pizza dough

Cheeses

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, drained and torn into pieces

Toppings & Garnish

  • 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 2 tbsp hot honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking a crispy crust.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface to prevent sticking and create an even base for the toppings.
  3. Spread Ricotta: Evenly spread the ricotta cheese over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to form the crust perimeter.
  4. Add Mozzarella: Scatter the torn pieces of fresh mozzarella evenly over the ricotta layer to add creamy meltiness.
  5. Arrange Prosciutto: Lay the thin prosciutto slices over the cheese for a savory and salty flavor contrast.
  6. Drizzle Olive Oil: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil generously over the assembled toppings to enhance flavor and aid in browning.
  7. Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly melted.
  8. Finish and Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle hot honey evenly over the top to add a spicy-sweet kick. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preferred spice and sweetness level.
  • You can use store-bought or homemade pizza dough depending on your preference.
  • For an extra crispy crust, preheat a pizza stone in the oven before baking.
  • Fresh basil can be substituted with other fresh herbs like oregano or thyme.
  • If you prefer a milder version, omit the prosciutto or substitute with cooked chicken.
