Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 lb pizza dough

Cheese

  • 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) with a pizza stone inside for even cooking and optimal crust crispiness.
  2. Roll Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough until it is about 12 inches in diameter, ensuring an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  3. Spread Ricotta: Evenly spread 1 cup of ricotta cheese over the rolled dough, leaving a small border around the edges to form a crust.
  4. Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded fresh mozzarella over the ricotta layer to create a melty, creamy cheese blend.
  5. Layer Prosciutto: Arrange 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto evenly on top of the cheeses to add a savory, salty flavor.
  6. Bake Pizza: Carefully transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or a 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 over the top, garnish with ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, slice into eight pieces, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust but a baking sheet can be used as an alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey according to your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh basil adds vibrant color and herbal aroma; you can substitute with arugula for a peppery kick.
  • Ensure dough is properly rested and rolled evenly for best results.
  • Letting the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing helps the cheese set slightly for cleaner slices.
